Droving Carolyn

Droving Carolyn, You could always come a droving, on the stock route we'd be roving, sleep neath the stars, an rough it on the track. Where the Dingoes howl at midnight, and the Sand Goannas fight with Brown Snakes, and the air is sweet as honey, but there isn't any money, and you wash in rivers, sometimes, way outback. Riding in a Poley saddle, Slowing back the cattle, To get a feed of Flinders grass so sweet, Just a walking leading me horse, Chomping Damper corn meat an sauce, Yes me Quartpot boiled of course , An I’m drinking some black tea, Not too bloody sugary. The trucking yards are waiting, Two days away, let em go, in the long paddock tonight,…(stock route) Tomorrow we will muster, watch the brown horse, watch him buster, or he’ll drop you in the long grass, and you won’t bloody like?
