[F#]
I'm a ringer from the top end, where you [C#] gotta know your job and what you're doing each day.
[G#m] [C#] On two million acres you bet you'll have to [F#] earn your pay.
If you want to take it on, there's one thing that [B] shouldn't be forgotten.
[G#]
[F#] Nobody else [C#] can do the job like a [F#] ringer from the top end.
[D#] [C#] Out on the fence line, swallowing dust, [G#] blood on my hands from the bow.
Hoping that road bull won't see the [C#m] hole before they get [C#] him in the eye.
[F#] But I get a funny feeling in the middle of my back.
[B] Sure enough he's coming [G#] like a train down the track.
[F#] That's when nobody else [C#] moves faster than this ringer [F#] from the top end.
Look out now!
[C#] Oh yeah!
[F#]
[Bm] [D#m] [G#]
[F#] [C#]
[F#]
I'm a ringer from the top end, where you gotta [C#] muster three thousand head in a day.
[G#m] [C#] Moving to the ant and water them at end [F#] of day.
Is not the sort of job you'd take if you're looking [B] for a soft one.
[G#]
[F#] But you take a kind of pride [C#] in saying I'm a ringer [F#] from the top end.
[C#]
Well I roll out with swag, need to bow at three, [G#] and then I'm out like a light.
Dreaming about those girls in town, [C#]
next thing it's broad daylight.
[F#] No time to dream of what might have been.
I'm [B] in a dirty [G#] bullcatcher with a mustering team.
[F#] I'd better keep my [C#] mind on the job, cause I'm a [F#] ringer from the top end.
Hey!
