For hours and hours together;
And never horse has had the luck
To pitch him from the leather.
An hundred fat buckes slaine;
Then having din'd, the drovyers went
To rouze the deare againe.
The buck to the stony plain,
And the Romany lass to the Romany lad,
And both to the road again.
Like a nob in an easy chair,
And chop his name with a greenhide fall
On the flank of a flying steer.
Or whether you trundle a truck,
Just tackle your job and do it right:
Don't pass the buck.
With all their four feet off the ground.
Unless they know just what to do
And how to keep their seats all through.
