Cunnamulla Fela

	  		

A 
Now I'm a scrubber runner and a breaker too 
   E 
I live on damper and wallaby stew 
 A 
I've got a big cattle dog with a staghound cross 
    E                                    A 
I never saw a scrubber that we couldn't toss 
 A 
'Cause I'm the feller from Cunnamulla 
               E         A 
Yes I'm the Cunnamulla feller 


 A 
Now once when I was droving on the cattle trails 
   E 
I met a little girl her name was Ada Vales 
         A 
I said marry me Ada and I'll be the feller 
            E                  A 
And we'll settle down in Augathella 
 A 
I'll be the feller at Augathella 
                  E          A 
Yes I'll be the Augathella feller 


 A 
Oh she said her daddy's name was Charlie Ville 
     E                         
She had a lot of kiddies and a lot of bills 
       A                                 
So I grabbed my horse that was nice and handy 
       E                             A 
And I never stopped 'til I reached Dirranbandi 
 A 
I was the dandy at Dirranbandi 
                E          A 
Yes I was the Dirranbandi dandy 


 A 
Now in my moleskin trousers and my William's boots 
 E 
Aboard an outlaw as she leaves the chutes 
        A 
In my goose neck spurs I rake their fiery hides 
          E                               A 
And the girls all shouting 'round the ringside 
 A 
Oh he's the feller from Cunnamulla 
                E         A 
Yes he's the Cunnamulla feller 


 A 
Now I've done a little fightin' in the western bars 
 E 
Done a little lovin' 'neath the moon and stars 
   A 
I wear bright clothes and shirts full of colour 
          E                             A 
And the girls know me as that certain feller 
 A 
Yes he's the feller from Cunnamulla 
               E          A 
Yes he's the Cunnamulla feller 
              E          A 
Oh he's the Cunnamulla feller 
              E           A 
Yes he's the Cunnamulla feller
