The Flash Stockman

Anonymous

A stockman? Yes, I am, and they call me ugly Sam.
I'm old and grey and only got one eye.
In a yard I'm good, of course, but put me on a horse,
And I'll go where lots of young-uns daren't try.

I lead them through the gidyea, over country rough and ridgey
I lose them in the very worst of scrub.
I ride both rough and aisy, with a "dew drop" I'm a daisy,
And a right down bobby dazzler in a pub.

Just watch me use a whip, I can give the ......gip,
I make the echoes roar and make them ring.
With a branding iron? Oh hell, I'm a perfect ......swell
And in fact, I'm Duke of every.....thing.

And watch me spoiling hide, I can put on lots of side,
I can act the silver tail just as if my blood was blue.
You can strike me pink or dead, If I stood upon my head,
Then I'd be as good as any other two.

A notion in my pate says it's luck, it isn't fate,
That I'm so far above the common run;
So, in anything I do, you can cut me fair in two,
For I'm far too ...... good to be in one.
