I'm a ringer from the top end where you [C#] gotta know your job and what you're doing each day
On two million acres you bet you'll have to earn [F#] your pay
If you want to take it on there's one thing [C#] that [B] shouldn't be forgotten
[G#] Nobody [F#] else can [C#] do the job like a ringer [F#] from the top end
[D#] [C#] Out on the fence like swallowing dust, [G#] blood on my hands from the bow
Hoping that road bull won't see the hole [C#] before they get him in the [B] [A#m] 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!

[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 through the iron thin water from that end [F#] of day
Is not the sort of job you'd take if you're [B] looking for a soft one
[G#] But [F#] you take a kind of pride [C#] in saying I'm a [F#] ringer from the top end
[D#m] Well [C#] I roll out my swag, meet the full app three [G#] and then I'm out like a light
Dreaming about those girls in town, [C#] next thing it's broad day light
[F#] No time to dream of what might it be, [B] I'm in a dirty bullcatcher [G#] with a mustard fiend
[F#] I'd better keep my mind [C#] on the job cause I'm a ringer [F#] from the top end Hey!
[Bm] [D#m]
[G#] [F#] And nobody does the [C#] job better than a ringer [F#] from the top end That's [F] right
