Dancing On The Darling

Pushing through the scrub on a bike

In the blistering sun just another day

Waiting on the chopper

For the word on the mustering

On the old 2 way

Ringers rushing round getting cattle to the yards

A clean skin breaks the mob

From the air they scatter like ants in the rain

Your mind can't leave the job

And we're covered in dust

Make our way on in to bourke

Our oasis in the outback

Will wash away the dirt

And we'll be dancing on the darling

Above the yellow bellies below

Just good clean fun under the sun

Waiting for our turn behind the boat

Racing down the river

Feel that water under my skin

We'll be dancing on the darling

Tree lined river with the ghost gums swaying

In the breeze this afternoon

Sunlight sparkles on the western stream

Her the sound of cockatoos

And we'll back the boat down to the ramp

And take the esky for a spin

We'll be flying round the water

With a stubbie i can tell ya

This is where the fun begins

We're jumping in

Strap them on and grab that rope

The motor's revving up

Foot goes down and off we go

And we'll be dancing on the darling

Above the yellow bellies below

Just good clean fun under the sun

Waiting for our turn behind the boat

Racing down the river

Feel that water under my skin

We'll be dancing on the darling

Single, double ski try it on the kneeboard

Bare-footing round with a deepwater start

Wakeboard, biscuit here me when i say

These ringers are river rats at heart

And we'll be dancing on the darling

Above the yellow bellies below

Just good clean fun under the sun

Waiting for our turn behind the boat

Racing down the river

Feel that water under my skin

We'll be dancing on the darling

We'll be dancing on the darling
