Ringer From The Top End - Slim Dusty

I'm a ringer from the top end

Where ya gotta know your job

And what you're doing each day

On two million acres you

Bet ya have to earn your pay

If ya wanna take it on

There's one thing that shouldn't be forgotten

Nobody else can do the job

Like a ringer from the top end

Out on the fence line swallowing dust

Blood on my hands from the barb

Hoping that rogue bull won't see the hole

Before they get him in the yard

But I get a funny feeling

In the middle of my back

Sure enough he's coming

Like a train down the track

That's when nobody else moves faster

Than the ringer from the top end

Reg now

Oie

I'm a ringer from the top end

Where ya gotta muster

Three thousand head in a day

Move em to the yards

And water them at end of day

It's not the sort of job you'd take

If you're looking for a soft one

But ya take a kinda pride in saying

I'm a ringer from the top end

Well I roll out my swag neath the boab tree

And then I'm out like a light

Dreaming about those girls in town

Next thing it's broad daylight

No time to dream of what might have been

I'm in a dirty bull catcher

With the mustering team

I better keep my mind on the job

Cause I'm a ringer from the top end

Hey

And nobody does the job better

Than a ringer from the top end

That's right

Oh yeah
