If just passing through Mt Isa,
Don't forget to take the time,
To go around old mate, an' meet,
A real good friend of mine.
Yet Iâve looked in beauty parlours
Or the modern fashion stores,
You'll find her at the sale yards,
Loading fats or dipping stores.
She's as hard anâ tough as greenhide'
With a heart of solid gold,
Educated on the stock routes
In the droving days of old.
Taking nightwatch, tething horses
On the famous Murringai,
Living close to God and nature,
Where the Wedgetail eagles fly.
Bridge
Her father was a teacher,
And he put her to the test,
In the college of the stockmen,
On the big camps in the west.
She can educate a young horse,
In a firm and gentle way,
Just like her father taught her,
On the stock routes in his day.
And she takes a lot of shifting,
From the park and pully seat
In a fair go on a plucker,
Sheâs pretty hard to beat.
And in the rodeo arena,
At the Isa every year,
With a pick up men sheâs working,
Sheâd beat stockmen tending gear. Hey!
She can ply the awl an' needles,
She can use the shoeinâ gear,
And when the days work's over, mate,
Sheâll join you in a beer.
Well respected by the bushmen,
All through the northern line,
She's a credit to her father,
From the old stock riding line.
She has known the joys and sorrows,
Of a mother and a wife,
And it mostly is the good
Who are the loosers in this life.
So when you meet her she would greet you,
With a handshake rough and hard,
So don't forget to tell her, mate,
We all send our best regards. Hey!
Spoken
Yeah, mate, don't forget to tell her,
We all send our best regards.
We really do.
