[Verse]
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
