[Intro]

[Verse]
COh, they'd mustered all the cattle on the GInnamincka run,
And Falso on Cordilla Downs the same thing had been Gdone,
They sChifted all the cows an' calves, the bullocks and the sFteers,
The biggest bank tell Cmuster job for Gmany, many Cyears.
Oh the GDiamantina channels and the Clignum now are bare
FSome wide eyed long horned pikers were all they'd left out Gthere,
Next Cday the helicopters came and cleared them from the Frun,
The mickeys didn't sCtand a chance, they sGhot 'em one by Cone.
Disease and blight had struck the herd, the beasts all had to Ggo,
To save the eFxport market and increase the money floGw,
Though Cit wasn't a very pretty scene to see the pikers Ffall,
And pilot of the cChopper, didn't Glike the job at Call.
GAnd the stockmen riding shotgun did his Cbest to keep it clean,
He Ftried his best for one shot kills to ease the grizzly Gscene,
But Csoon the job was over and the land allowed to sFpell,
Once again the stony Cdesert had a Gtragic tale to Ctell.
[Instrumental]

DThey wait now for the seasons to Arejuvenate the land,
GRestock again with breeders and keep them well Ain hand,
Oh the Dflood plains then will prosper and the blight will be no Gmore,
Once more the stockmen Driding, like they used to Ado beDfore.
AAnd the cattle camps be busy Dwith a new and stronger breed,
As they Gmuster through the lignum where the cattle love to Afeed,
Through the Dsand hills of Cordilla or the Innamincka GPlains,
Once more we'll see the Dstockmen's hands rest sAlightly on the rDeins.
At the Innamincka muster, there were cAhoppers in the sky,
GCattle country gun ships with the rifleman on Ahigh,
Oh the Dpikers didn't stand a chance, cattle war was Gwon,
Beside the stony dDesert where they shot 'em Aone by Done.
AOld timers had another way, they'd Dvery seldom fail,
To Gblock the way with mickey, and throw him by the Atail,
But Dnow the ringer's airborne, helicopters on the Ggo,
In the Diamantina Dcountry where the cAhannels waters Dflow.
AWhere the channels waters fGlow.G  A  D
