G
D
G
Just an Old Cattle Dog
His ears are all tattered,
C
his hide is all battered and worn
D
For he's been number
one on the cattle run
G
since he was born
His old eyes light up
C
when he knows there's work to be done
D
Cos he's just an old cattle dog
G
out on the Billeroy run
Though his old eyes have dimmed
C
as the years have just trimmed him away
D
Still he's proud and he's game,
G
he'll be there at the end of the day
Right there by his side in his footsteps
C
he'll faithfully come
D
Cos he's just an old cattle dog
G
out on the Billeroy run
C
He's just an old cattle dog
G
out on the Billeroy run
A
But he's long in the tooth now,
D
I reckon his race nearly run
G
Ah, but he'll be remembered
C
many years after he's gone
D
Cause he's just an old cattle dog
G
D
G
out on the Villeroy Run
His spirit is strong
C
though his body is tired and old
D
He'll still follow the boss
through the long days
G
just sharing the load
From the first light of dawn every day
C
till the set of the sun
D
Cos he's just an old cattle dog
G
out on the Billeroy run
There's a tree by the homestead
C
where many old mates have been laid
D
And the old dog just knows
that he'll join them one
G
day in the shade
He'll be laid down to rest
C
in that billowroy soil when he's done
D
Cause he's just an old cattle dog
G
out on the Billaroy run
C
He's just an old cattle dog
G
out on the Billaroy run
A
But he's long in the tooth now,
D
I reckon his race nearly run
G
Ah, but he'll be remembered
C
for many years after he's gone
D
A
Cos he's just an old cattle dog
D
G
out on the Billeroy Run
D
A
Yeah, he's just an old cattle dog
D
G
out on the Billeroy Run
D
G
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, hmm
