She buried
Am

him down on the edge of town

Where the brick load suckers

on the cemetery creep

She stood with them children

in a heavy brown gown
Dm

What you want,
Am

you just can't always keep

I'm sorry, I says, well,

I knew him so well
Dm

Though your body's young,

just never can tell
Dm

When the hand of fate

brings the final death knell

She just turned with the saddest smiles
C

She says at the start, well,
F
we knew it so hard
Dm
C
Am
F
We were always dealt the severest cards
C
Am
F
Honeymoon spent, drove in jammers
Dm
C
Am
and stocked through the wild this win ter,
F
he seemed
C
Am
Ro mantic notions of
F
Dm
horses and lamb,
C
they were soon dispelled
Am
F
Dm
As a fantasized dream,
C
watching cattle at night
Am
F
In the midwinter cold,
C
Am
F
turns a person both wiry and older
C

And the flame of the breakfast fire
F
would be dead
Am
C
Am
As the sun rose up,

When the weather turned sour

with the onset of rain
Dm

The truck would bog down
Am
F
to the axle mains
Dm
C
Am
He'd move ahead with pikes,
F
Dm
saddles, and chains
F
Dm
C
Am
And I'd wait in the mud by the road
F
C
With the blankets and
Am
F
canvas they hung out
Dm
C
Am
But nothing for heat,
F
cause you couldn't light a fire
Dm
C
Am
With no stop per mit
F
for the forthcoming shire
Dm
C
The dogs would whimper
Am
in the winter wind rain
F
C
Am
And carols don't camp
F
Dm
when they're sloshing in rain
F
Dm
C
You keep walking all night
Am
F
like a dog on a chain
C
You'd be red -eyed and weary
Am
F
Dm
with a pack of scorned lame
C
while I'm sitting miles
Am
F
behind in the mud
C
Am
And if it was down through Charleville
F
up to Julia Creek
Dm
C
Living on syrup and damper
Am
F
Am
and salted cornmeat

But the middling skies
F
of the starriest of nights
Dm
C
Were the dance of the fire
Am
F
-throwing flicker of light
Dm
C
Am
The beauty of its sunsets
F
were a constant delight
Am
C
Am
F
I found nature had let me intrude it
C
Am
The enormous vastness
F
of the Midland Plains
Dm
C
Am
Gives you a lonely contentment
F
Dm
for which you can't put a name
C
It's a satisfied glow
Am
F
city folks seldom attain
Dm
C
Am
They spend life on a right rigid rail
F
C
Am
And the kids got their schooling
F
Dm
from the government mail
F
Dm
C
Am
He posted there working
F
at each cattle sale
Dm
C
Am
They con sidered the learning
F
a self -imposed jail
Dm

Early last month at the end of the grind
C
Am
F
He was given a horse nobody could ride
C
Am
Alert were his ears
F
with a fire in each stride
Dm
C
Am
F
He was young and his spirit was wild
C
Am
To catch him each mornin'
F
Am
was an hour -long battle
Dm
C
Am
He had to call a rope his nearside
F
to throw on the saddle
C
Am
He'd bite and he'd strike,
F
he made my nerves rattle
Dm
C
Am
F
Pande monium reigned with each ride
C
Am
There was a hot summer's mornin'
F
at the government ball
Am
C
There was stillness around
Am
F
Am
I'd not felt before
F
Am
C
Am
How could he know
F
it was fate at his door
Dm
C
Am
That was stealthily watchin' his moves
F
C
Am
He mounted up quick,
F
Am
takin' slack from the reins
C
Am
Crossed the forehand of here
F
Am
from the horse's long mane
C
Just hit the saddle
Am
F
when the horse went insane
Dm
C
Am
F
Churning dust in a frenzy of fear
C
And the girth on the saddle
Am
F
Am
let go at the ring
C
Am
And the sir's single slip
F
was impossible to cling
Dm
C
Am
The horse fell it go,
F
made a desperate cling
Dm
C
Am
F
He was thrown to the length of the re ins
C
Am
I heard his spine snap
F
like a room shooter's shot
Dm
C
Am
He bus ted his back on
F
the concrete he dropped
Dm
C
Am
Sickness and fear were
F
the feelings I got
C
Am
For the doctor with a six
F
-hour drive route
C
Am
Well, I looked at his face
F
and his color turned white
C
Am
Turned slowly and said,
F
can't make it till night
Dm
C
Am
My body is broken.
F
I'm bleeding inside
Dm
C
Am

and I'll move here to town
F
Dm
C
Am
Before the winter returns
F
with a chill on the ground
Dm
C
Am
For what I just lost can
F
seldom be found
Dm
C
Am
F
I was blessed with the gentlest of men
C
Am
And eventually the children
F
will move to the east
Dm
C
But I couldn't stand the bustle
Am
F
Even a quiet city street
Dm
C
Am
I'll stay in the scrub here
F
Dm
Where my heart really beats
C
Am
F
For some dogs grow too old for changin'
