[00:05.326]Texas Jack you are amusin great Lord Harry how I laughed
[00:09.952]When I seen your rig and saddle with its bulwarks fore and aft
[00:13.889]Holy smoke In such a saddle how the dickens can ya fall
[00:18.077]Why I've seen a gal ride bareback with no bridle on at all
[00:24.862]How I'd like to see a bushman use yer fixins Texas Jack
[00:29.237]On the remnant of a saddle he can ride to hell and back
[00:33.174]Why I've heard a mother cheerin when her kid went tossin by
[00:37.300]Ridin bareback on a bucker that had murder in his eye
[00:43.987]You may talk about your ridin in the city bold an free
[00:48.113]Talk o ridin in the city Texas Jack but where'd you'd be
[00:53.331]When the stock horse snorts an bunches all is quarters in a hump
[00:57.393]And the saddle climbs a sapling an the horse shoes split a stump
[01:02.331]No before you teach the natives you must ride without a fall
[01:06.393]Up a gum or down a gully nigh as steep as any wall
[01:10.581]You must swim the roarin Darling when the flood is at its height
[01:14.831]Bearin down the stock an stations to the Great Australian Bight
[01:22.706]You can't count the bulls an bisons that you copped with your lassoo
[01:27.144]But a stout old Myall bullock perhaps could learn you somethin new
[01:30.957]You had better make your will an leave your papers neat an trim
[01:35.269]Before you make arrangements for the lassooin of hi
[01:38.394]Find more similar lyrics on
[01:42.424]As you say you're death on Injuns We've got somethin in your line
[01:46.237]If yer think your fightin's equal to the likes of Tommy Ryan
[01:49.174]Take your carcass up to Queensland where the alligators chew
[01:54.237]And the carpet snake is handy with his tail for a lassoo
[01:57.612]Ride across the hazy regins where the lonely emus wail
[02:06.300]An yell find the dark ll track yer while yer looki for his trail
[02:10.300]He can track yer without stoppin for a thousand miles or more
[02:14.675]Come again and he will show yer where yer spat the year before
[02:21.549]But you'd best be mighty careful you'll be sorry you came here
[02:25.362]When you're skewered to the fragments of your saddle with a spear
[02:29.362]When the boomerang is sailin in the air then heaven help ya
[02:33.550]It will cut yer head off goin an come back again and scalp ya
[02:40.831]Texas Jack you are amusin great Lord Harry how I laughed
[02:43.331]When I seen your rig and saddle with its bulwarks fore an aft
[02:48.612]Holy smoke In such a saddle how the dickens can ya fall
[02:52.549]Why I've seen a gal ride bareback with no bridle on at all
