Now in my moleskin trousers and my William's boots
 F
I board me an outlaw as he leaves the chutes
        Bb
In my goose neck spurs I rake his fiery hide
      F                              Bb
The girls all shouting 'round the ringside

He's the fella from Cunnamulla

Done a little lovin' 'neath the moon and stars
   Bb
I wear bright clothes and shirts full of colour
          F                             Bb
