Whoa Bullocks Whoa

Spoken
Whoa Bullocks, whoa there
Sung
Singing Whoa Bullocks, whoa bullocks, whoa bullocks whoa
Bringing in the gidgee for they're itching for to go
Whoa Bullocks, whoa bullocks, whoa bullocks whoa
Hold up the lead, keep them moving nice and slow
They're a wild touchy mob from the gulf country run
And they'll give us lots of action 'ere this roving trip is done
Each time they make a break, there's a call for reckless speed
To hold back the scrubbers racing madly in the lead
Singing Whoa Bullocks, whoa bullocks, whoa bullocks whoa
Hold up the lead, keep them moving nice and slow
When we counted out the yard, there were two thousand head
Two thousand bullocks all Gulf country bred
A hundred miles behind us and a thousand more to go
'Til we truck 'em at the border where the Darling River flows
Singing Whoa Bullocks, whoa bullocks, whoa bullocks whoa
Hold up the lead, keep them moving nice and slow
There's not too many left of the old droving school
And these Gulf country cattle can't be handled by a fool
So give 'em room to spread boys and let 'em feed along
And hold up the lead boys if anything goes wrong
With your Whoa Bullocks, whoa bullocks, whoa bullocks whoa
Hold up the lead, keep them moving nice and slow
There's a long drive ahead, 'fore we hit the final town
And the boss drover's worries can really get him down
You watch 'em on the nightcamp when they're ready for to leap
Why they've even got me watching and a-droving in my sleep
Singing Whoa Bullocks, whoa bullocks, whoa bullocks whoa
Bringing in the gidgee for they're itching for to go
Whoa Bullocks, whoa bullocks, whoa bullocks whoa
Hold up the lead, keep them moving nice and slow
Moving Nice and slow
Moving Nice and slow
Spoken
Whoa Bullocks, whoa there you bullocks
