the stockrider's song - country women of australia massed choir lyrics

[verse 1]
they’ve been up queensland way
with the cattle many a day
o’er many a thirsty, lonely plain
but now they’re trotting back
on the good old stoney track
for they’re riding, riding, riding home again

[chorus]
on they’re riding with a “yah, hah, hollo!”
how they thunder as they go
never staying, never drawing rein
never drawing rein
with the stock whip in the hand
they’re a merry, jolly, jolly band
for they’re riding, riding, riding
riding home again

[verse 2]
they’ve journeyed many a road
and they’ve carried many a load
they’ve waded many a washy creek
they’ve heard the bitterns boom
and the curlews in the gloom
and they’ve rounded many a steer, h*rned and sleek
[chorus]
on they’re riding with a “yah, hah, hollo!”
how they thunder as they go
never staying, never drawing rein
never drawing rein
after storm and dust and heat
now they’re singing, singing in the seat
for they’re riding, riding, riding
riding home again

[verse 3]
they’ve faced the fearful drought (ooh)
when the world was blotted out
when the dust storms wrapped them round with a cloud (ooh)
they’ve staggered, thin and dumb (ooh)
past the blackened rush and gum
and they’ve almost prayed to heaven for a shroud (ooh)

[chorus]
but it’s “yah, hah, hollo!”
how they thunder as they go
never staying, never drawing rein
never drawing rein
hark the roaring of the hoofs
see the gleaming, gleaming of the roofs
for they’re riding, riding, riding
riding home again
