歌曲歌詞
You may talk of the ringer from Queensland
The big shearing gun from the west
They are men who have proven their value
Whenever they re put to the test
But if you ever look to the mountains
And the south where it snows and it rains
Have you thought of the men from the Snowy
And the cattlemen from the high plains
From the high plains away above Dargo
In the alps where the snow daisy grows
Where the wild mountain herds are grazin
Beneath the shadow of mountains of snow
Where the cattlemen searched every cranny
When they muster at each summer s end
In their rain batter hats and their oil skins
From the high plains come real cattlemen
They re a part of Australia s hist ry
Their heritage all be the same
If nobody cares what is happn nin
To the cattlemen from the high plains
After one fifty years they can take it
All the hardship the mountains can give
They hand onto each generation
Their caring their live and let live
All the steep mountain tracks and the gullies
Which one knows like the palm of his hand
There s no room here for too many new chumps
In the mountain cattleman s land
So I guess that you ll never believe me
When you hear what they re plannin to do
Down in town mate they re writin the law now
That the man from the high plains must go
Take his herds from the mountains and ridges
Leave the land where his forefathers reigned
With the sweep of the pen they want to write out
The cattlemen from the high plains
And we lose a part of our hist ry
Of our land built through struggle and strain
A bit more of our freedom goes with them
The cattlemen from the high plains
Just a bit more freedom goes with them
The cattlemen from the high plains
