Barmah Muster

We’re mustering cattle at Barmah one more

It’s that time of the year once again

Summer is over and autumn is here

As we meet for the muster each year

(Chorus)

On Sunday night as the nights shadows fall

We meet at the old cattle yards

The boys are excited as they all have their say

As they plan for the muster next day

The morning is chilly as the sun comes up

As we saddle our bronks for the day

With tucker bags full and our stockwhips in hand

We ride through the tall timber land

(Chorus)

Old Sticher the cook he is with us no more

But his spirit will be there this year

As we meet with the boys for a yarn and a beer

And we join this great atmosphere

We muster the cattle these cattle each day for the week

But when Saturday night it comes round

We kick up our heels and we all clap our hands

To the beat of a good country band

(Chorus)

We’re mustering cattle at Barmah once more

That time has past for the year

But I bet its for certain we’ll all be back here

When we’ll meet for the muster next year
