A Cowboy Is

A Cowboy is. Out on the stock route 10 mile days Keep those cattle moving He hopes there’s grass and water, prays His seat he won’t be losing……..watch them yang yang horses The cattle settle down at night Bout midnight up they jump in fright Camp is damaged, swags alight You wonder why he’s boosing….drive you to drinking You follow the tracks dodge a brown snake Old horse does sidestep Blue Grab for saddle monkey Jack does make Then gets off the ground quick, too Takes all day to find the mob And a few strays on their own The stock route has fences Bob But numbers are right, I own So we bring em to the rail head And put em in a yard And head for the nearest pub, Fred Drink a few pints of fourex at the bar. Don Johnson….Australia Sea snake is most venomous then comes ol coffin head Taipan who lives in Queensland Australia 2nd most poisonous on the planet im told, then comes Brownie 3rd i've killed a dozen in my time in the Aussie bush, we have a short fellow called the death adder he will kill you too if you step on him. Brownie is 10 times worse than a Cobra. So it gets the adrenaline pumping if you fall of your horse near a brown snake regards mate Don
