Lyrics
Throwin' off these city clothes
Goin' where the gidgee grows
Headin' for a western cattle run
Leave my sweetheart, catch a train
Headin' for the saltbush plain
Way out towards the settin' sun
My restless heart has been tied down
By a girl and by a town
But now I'm gonna throw the slip rails wide
Let my wild emotions out
What a cooee, what a shout
As I rake a fiery brumby's hide
I want to let my voice go free
A reckless gallop through the trees
Hot upon a racing scrubber's trail
Hear the timber 'round me break
Feel the saddle leather quake
As I down the scrubber by the tail
I want to boil my battered court
Want to hear the stock horse snort
Hear the dingoes howling mournfully
Hear a thousand cattle stamp
As they rush from their night camp
All that noise is music now to me
I'm throwin' off these city clothes
Goin' where the gidgee grows
Headin' for a western cattle run
Leave my sweetheart, catch a train
Headin' for the saltbush plain
Way out towards the settin' sun
