[Intro] G G C F C G [Verse] C F I joined a mob of ringers in a muster's camp outback G C Near the cattle town of Injune and the old Arcadia Track F What a rugged belt of country, what a lot crazy blokes G C And rickety cows from zany out bush were a long way from a joke [Verse] C F They were mustering for branding and the horses all were primed G C For they had been out spelling since wiener muster time F I've never seen such a mob of yangs, I asked what they were like G C Cause I reckon that all would buck and maybe kick and strike [Verse] F C Viv Humpries was head stockman, a casual sort of bloke F D G He said the horses here are quiet, I listened while he spoke C F He said “they're just a little girthy, just a little tight G C might hump up and crow hop but otherwise they're right.” [Interlude] G G C [Verse] C F He cut me out a brown horse with murderous looking eyes G C He raced about the round yard, and my fear began to rise F He walked right up and whistled and near blew off my hat G C Spun round and let both barrels go and knocked me over flat [Verse] C F When I regained my senses, they had roped and bridled him G C They had a blind fold on him and hobbles on his shins F Next, they put the saddle on and for what it’s worth G C They used a wire hook to get the surcingle and girth [Verse] F C By now my voice and body were shaking bad with fright F D G But Viv said “do not worry mate, get on him, you'll be right.

[Verse] F C Now that many years ago my memory goes back F D G to the day I got that buster, and I also got the sack C F When Humpries walked up to me, and said “it’s plain to see G C if you can't ride our quiet horse then you're no use to me. “ [Outro] G G C F C G
