By the winding Wollondilly where the weeping willows weep	A
And the shepherd with his billy half awake and half asleed	B
Folds his fleecy flocks that linger homewards in the setting sun	C
Lived my hero Jim the Ringer cocky on Mylora Run	C
	-
Jimmy loved the super's daughter Miss Amelia Jane McGrath	D
Long and earnestly he sought her but he feared her stern papa	E
And Amelia loved him truly but the course of love if true	F
Never yet ran smooth or duly as I think it ought to do	F
	-
Pondering o'er his predilection Jimmy watched McGrath the boss	G
Riding past his lone selection looking for a station 'oss	G
That was running in the ranges with a mob of outlaws wild	B
Mac the time of day exchanges off goes Jim to see his child	B
	-
Says The old man's after Stager which he'll find is no light job	H
And tomorrow I will wager he will try and yard the mob	H
Will you come with me tomorrow I will let the parson know	I
And for ever joy or sorrow he will join us here below	I
	-
I will bring the nags so speedy Crazy Jane and Tambourine	J
One more kiss don't think I'm greedy good bye lass before I'm seen	J
Just one more God bless you dearie Don't forget to meet me here	K
Life without you is but weary now once more good bye my dear	L
	-

The daylight shines on figures twain	M
That ride across Mylora Plain	M
Laughing and talking Jim and Jane	M
Steady darling There's lots of time	N
Didn't we slip the old man prime	N
I knew he'd tackle that Bowneck mob	H
I reckon he'll find it too big a job	H
They've beaten us all I had a try	O
But the Warrigal devils seem to fly	O
That Sambo's a real good but of stuff	P
No doubt but not quite good enough	P
He'll have to gallop the livelong day	B
To cut and come to race and stay	B
I hope he yards 'em 'twill do him good	B
To see us going I don't think would	B
A turn in the road and fair and square	Q
They meet the old man standing there	Q
What's up Why running away of course	G
Says Jim emboldened The old man turned	B
His eye with wild excitement burned	B
I've raced all day through the scorching heat	B
After old Bowneck and now I'm beat	B
But over that range I think you'll find	B
The Bowneck mob all run stone blind	B
Will you go and leave the mob behind	B
Which will you do Take the girl away	B
Or ride like a white man should today	B
And yard old Bowneck Go or stay	B
Says Jim I can't throw this away	B
We can bolt some other day of course	G
Amelia Jane get off that horse	G
Up you get Old Man Whoop halloo	O
Here goes to put old Bowneck through	F
Two distant specks om the mountain side	B
Two stockwhips echoing far and wide	B
Amelia Jane sat down and cried	B
	-
	-
	-
Sakes Amelia what's up now	R
Leading old Sambo too I vow	R
And him deadbeat Where have you been	S
'Bolted with Jim ' What do you mean	J
'Met the old man with Sambo licked	B
From running old Bowneck ' Well I'm kicked	B
'Ran 'em till Sambo nearly dropped '	-
What did Jim do when you were stopped	B
Did you bolt from father across the plain	M
'Jim made you get off Crazy Jane	M
And father got on and away again	T
The two of 'em went to the ranges grim '	-
Good boy Jimmy Oh well done Jim	U
They're sure to get them now of course	G
That Tambourine is a spanking horse	G
And Crazy Jane is good as gold	B
And Jim they say rides pretty bold	B
Not like your father but very fair	Q
Jim will have to follow the mare	Q
It never was yet in father's hide	B
To best my Jim on the mountain side	B
Jim can rally and Jim can ride	B
But here again Amelia cried	B
	-
	-
	-
The sound of whip comes faint and far	V
A rattle of hoofs and here they are	V
In all their tameless pride	B
The fleet wild horses snort and fear	L
And wheel and break as the yard draws near	L
Now Jim the Ringer ride	B
Wheel 'em wheel 'em Whoa back there whoa	I
And the foam flakes fly like the driven snow	I
As under the whip the horses go	I
Adown the mountain side	B
And Jim hands down and teeth firm set	B
On a horse that never has failed him yet	B
Is after them down the range	W
Well ridden well ridden they wheel whoa back	X
And long and loud the stockwhips crack	X
Their flying course they change	W
Steadily does it let Sambo go	I
Open those sliprails down below	I
Smart or you'll be too late	B
	-
	-
	-
They'll follow old Sambo up look out	B
Whee that black horse give Sam a clout	B
They're in Make fast the gate	B
	-
	-
	-
The mob is safely in the yard	B
The old man mounts delighted guard	B
No thought has he but for his prize	G
	-
	-
	-
Jim catches poor Amelia's eyes	G
Will you come after all The job is done	C
And Crazy Jane is fit to run	C
For a prince's life now don't say no	I
Slip on while the old man's down below	I
At the inner yard and away we'll go	I
Will you come my girl I will you bet	B
We'll manage this here elopement yet	B
	-
	-
	-
By the winding Wollondilly stands the hut of Ringer Jim	U
And his loving little Meely makes a perfect god of him	U
He has stalwart sons and daughters and I think before he's done	C
There'll be numerous Six forty's taken on Mylora Run	C
