About

This is the national anthem of that great race of country skiters who have made themselves heard ever since the first man stepped into the bush with his blanket roll, and bolstered up his courage by crying into the emptiness: “I don’t have to prove I’m the best man here–I admit it!” Or perhaps he wa...

The Flash Stockman (1958) Lyrics

I'm a stockman to me trade and they call me Ugly Dave
I'm old and grey and I only got one eye
In the yard I'm good, of course, but just put me on a horse
And I'll go where lots of young 'uns daren't try

I lead 'em through the gidgee over country rough and ridgy
I loose them in the very worst of scrub
I can ride both rough and easy, with the dewdrop I'm a daisy
And a right down bobby-dazzler in a pub

Just watch me use the whip, I can give the dawdlers gyp
I can make the bloody echoes roar and ring
With a branding-iron, well, I'm a perfect flamin' swell
In fact I'm duke of every blasted thing

To watch me skin a sheep, it's so lovely you could weep
I can act the silvertail as if me blood was blue
You could strike me pink or dead, if you stood me on me head
I'd be just as good as any other two

I've a notion in me pate that it's luck, it isn't fate
That I'm so far above the common run
So for ev'rything I do you can cut me fair in two
For I'm much two bloody good to be in one
