| Which his name sir is Michael O'Dowd | B |
| Whatever he's riding when timber is thick | A |
| He is always in front of the crowd | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| A few tangled locks that are fast turning white | C |
| Crown a physog the colour of brick | A |

| Is the blue eye of Brigalow Mick | A |

| He is Martin's head stockman on Black Cattle Creek | D |
| All the boys there are rare ones to ride | E |

| Ere you find such an artist in hide | E |

| He'll turn out a halter or stockwhip can make | F |
| As you've seldom cast eyes on before | G |
| And never the 'nugget' was calved that could break | F |
| Michael's whips which he plaits by the score | G |

| All the lads on the station are handy enough | H |
| Nor are frightened of grafting too hard | I |

| A bad colt to tackle a mad one to steer | J |
| Through thick timber you'll hear Martin boast | K |
| Mick yet is unrivalled there isn't his peer | J |
| Right from Camooweal in to the coast | K |
| - | |

| Ay long may it be ere the scrubs are bereft | L |
| Of the clearskins that give us the sport | M |
| And long may the station have stock riders left | L |
| Of the build of old Brigalow's sort | M |
