I'm a ringer from the top end where ya gotta know your job and what you're doin' each day
                                                     D
On 2 million acres, you bet you'll have to earn your pay
                                                              G      E
If ya wanna take it on there's one thing that shouldn't be forgotten
D                      A7                         D
Nobody else can do the job like a ringer from the top end
 
 
[Verse]
A                                      E
Out on the fence line swallowing dust, blood on my hands from the barb
                                            A7
Hoping that rogue bull won't see the hole before they get him in the yard
      D
But I get a funny feeling in the middle of my back
G                               E
Sure enough, he's coming like a train down the track
            D                 A7                               D
That's when nobody else moves faster than this ringer from the top end. Look out now!

      D                                             A7
I'm a ringer from the top end where ya gotta muster 3 thousand head in a day
                                               D
Move 'em to the yards and water them at end of day
                                                            G          E
It's not the sort of job you'd take if you're looking for a soft one
       D                     A7                            D
But ya take a kinda pride in saying "I'm a ringer from the top end"
 
 
[Verse]
        A                                         E
Well, I roll out my swag 'neath the boab tree and then I'm out like a light
                                   A
Dreaming about those girls in town next thing it's broad daylight
   D
No time to dream of what might have been
         G                         E
I'm in a dirty bull catcher with a mustering team
    D                          A7                               D
I'd better keep my mind on the job 'cause I'm a ringer from the top end. Hey!
