Slim Dusty lyrics : "Ringers, Rigs And Drivers"
Ready for the big rigs to take the stock away
Thirty mighty road-trains are pullin in tonight
Well load up in the mornin just as soon as its daylight
The smell of dust and diesel smoke drifted over camp
In a few short hours therell be cattle on the ramps
Sleep was near impossible as cattle bellowed loud
But drivers rested easily if only for an hour
Oh-de-lay-di
Oh what a sight as we arose and looked across the plain
A mass of flashy rigs and trailers set the scene again
Colour schemes and paintwork all chrome and just his size
Somehow seemed exciting through a northern ringers eyes
Now its time to fill the decks the trucks are in row
Hey up cattle move along push up there get up Joe
Jiggers zap and stockmans crack an waddies prod em on
And road train drivers lend a hand til all them are gone

Cattle carters drove away shifting through the gears
The whistle of a turbo music to a truckies ears
Another day another load another dollar made
Said the hauler in the Kenworth as he headed down the grade
As we sit here on the cap rail of a silent empty yard
We think about the truckers theyre still out there workin hard
How do they keep on goin on these masters of the road
Hope we see them safely back next time for another load
As we sit here on the cap rail of a silent empty yard
We think about the truckers theyre still out there workin hard
How do they keep on goin on these masters of the road
Hope we see them safely back again next time for another load
Oh-de-lay-di
