Well, I'm a ringer from the top end
Where you're going to know your stuff and what you're doing each day
Still on two million acres, bet you're gonna earn your pay
It's not the kind of job you take if you're thinking about a soft one
'Cause nobody does the job better than a ringer from the top end
Out on the fence line, swallowing dust
Blood on my hand from the bar
Hoping that rope bull won't see the hole
Before we get him in the yacht
Still I get a funny feeling down the middle of my back
Sure enough, he's coming like a train down the track
When nobody moves faster
Than a ringer from the top end
I'm a ringer from the top end
Where you're going to master three thousand head in a day
Move them to the yards and water 'em at the end of the day
Not the kind of job you take if you're looking for a soft one
But we take a kind of pride in saying "I'm a ringer from the top end", hey
And I roll out my swag, and you can blow that tree
Then I'm out like a light, dreaming about the girls in town
Next thing it's broad daylight, no need to dream of what might have been
I'm in a dirty bull catcher and I muster and team
Better keep my mind on the job because I'm a ringer from the top end
Hey, I'm a ringer from the top end
Where you're going to know your stuff and what you're doing each day
Yes I'm on two million acres, bet you're going to earn your pay
Not the sort of job you take if you're thinking about a soft one
'Cause nobody does the job better than a ringer from the top end
Out on the fence line, swallowing dust
Blood on my hand from the bar
Hoping that rope bull won't see the hole
Before we get him in the yacht
Still I get a funny feeling down the middle of my back
Sure enough, he's coming like a train down the track
But nobody moves faster than a ringer from the top end
Said nobody does the job better than a ringer from the top end, hey
