Slim Dusty - Cunnamulla Feller lyrics

rate me

Now I'm a scrubber, runner and a breaker too

I live on damper and wallaby stew

I've got a big cattle dog with a staghound cross

I never saw the scrubber we couldn't toss

'Cause I'm the Feller from Cunnamulla

Yes I'm the Cunnamulla Feller

Now once when I was drovin' on the cattle trails

I met a little girl her name was Ada Vale

I said "Marry me Ada and I'll be the feller

And we'll settle down in Augathella"

I'll be the Feller at Augathella

Yes I'll be the Augathella Feller

Oh, she said her daddy's name was Charley Ville

She had a lot of kiddies and a lot of bills

So I grabbed my horse that was nice and handy

And I never stopped till I reached Dirranbandi

I was the dandy at Dirranbandi

Yes I was the Dirranbandi Dandy

Now in my moleskin trousers and my Williams boots

Aboard an outlaw as he leaves the chutes

In my goose neck spurs I rake their fiery hide

And the girls all shouting around the ringside

Oh he's the Feller from Cunnamulla

Yeah he's the Cunnamulla Feller

Now I've done a little fightin' in the western bars

Done a little lovin' neath the moon and stars

I wear bright clothes and shirts full of colour

And the girls know me as that certain feller

Yes he's the Feller from Cunnamulla

Yes he's the Cunnamulla Feller

Oh he's the Cunnamulla Feller

Yes he's the Cunnamulla Feller
