Lyrics Horse and Hobble Days - Slim Dusty
Oh
I'll
take
you
back
to
the
good
old
days
when
our
beards
hung
down
our
chest
When
bullocks
hauled
the
woolclip
in
and
we
turned
in
fully
dressed
They
were
rough
and
rowdy
mustering
camps
and
wild
bulls
on
the
prod
Those
horse
and
hobble
days
were
best
when
we
swung
the
greenhide
rod
Singing
hobbles
horsebells
and
halters
as
we
ride
over
gibber
and
sand
Singing
surcingles
stockwhips
and
saddles
and
the
greasy
kip
reins
in
our
hands
Oh
the
bush
was
such
a
lively
place
and
the
men
were
likewise
too
There
were
teamsters
moving
up
the
track
and
drovers
travelling
through
Colt
breakers
with
their
tackling
gear
and
the
dogger
armed
with
bait
Canteen
and
springside
leggings,
horse
and
hobble
days
were
great
Singing
bridles
bullwhips
and
buckers
as
we
ride
round
the
bullocks
at
night
Singing
saddlebags
quartpots
and
scrubbers
oh
they
won't
rush
but
maybe
they
might
Oh
I
cut
my
teeth
on
a
bridle
bit
and
was
raised
on
damper
crust
Chased
a
bull
and
ever
since
my
friend
I've
been
swallowing
cattle
dust
Now
the
Mitchell
grass
has
been
my
bed
and
a
kneepad
for
a
rest
When
yarramans
wore
the
neck
straps
horse
and
hobble
days
were
best
Singing
cattle
camps
scrubbers
and
slush
lamps
as
we
ride
back
to
camp
in
the
west
Singing
scrub
dashing
ringers
and
mickys
oh
the
old
hobble
days
were
the
best
