Banjo Is Man - Slim Dusty

作曲：Kasha/Hirschhorn

The question is still asked today Who is Banjo's man

That man from Snowy River renown throughout the land

Who ran those wild bush horses thru that rugged countryside

Who was that man he wrote of who made that famous ride

Some say he was Jack Riley from down near Corryong

They say the man could really ride the name to him belong

The gold brit brines and penders they all could lay a claim

But Banjo singled no one out that's why there was no name

Banjo's man is riding he's riding with the best

In the ranges where in winter time it snows

He's riding now to reel them

Yes riding on the wind

In the country where the Snowy River flows Oh Yes

Now Banjo knew this country he knew it's riders well

He spent time in the ranges where Snowy riders dwell

He saw them ride full gallop swinging stockwhips in their hands

And as a tribute to them all he penned his famous man

Those men who roamed the mountains in search of straying stock

Who spent their lives on horseback in those rugged mountain blocks

They rode the hills and gorges where Snowy River ran

And each and everyone of them could ride like Banjo's man

He saw them running brumbies on the steep an' timbered slopes

Catch the brumbies at a gallop with their greenhide catching ropes

He saw that they had whipped the wildest country in this land

And so was formed the legend of the famous Banjo Man

Hey

Banjo's man is riding he's riding with the best

In the ranges where in winter time it snows

He's riding now to reel them yes riding on the wind

In the country where the Snowy River flows Oh Yes

The legend is still living and I say it always will

As long as their are brumbies and horsemen in the hills

For they run them mountain brumbies yes run them till they stand

And there's horsemen in the Snowy yeah as good as Banjo's man

Banjo's man is riding he's riding with the best

In the ranges where in winter time it snows

He's riding now to reel them yes riding on the wind

In the country where the Snowy River flows

Banjo's man is riding he's riding with the best

In the ranges where in winter time it snows

Yes he's riding now to reel them yes riding on the

Wind
