Slim Dusty – My Pony Whipstick (Guitar)

     D                    E
They sing about horses of rodeo fame

   A7                         D
At home we've a bombshell and Whipstick's his name

                             E
Thrown every stockman that's swung to his back

A7                                         D
Spreads 'em out nicely like an old, busted sack

        G                      D
There's dough in the saddle if you only stick

    E                   A7  N.C.
Ten seconds upon him my pony Whipstick

        D                    E
So come on you gay stockmen, don't pass it by

A7                                   D
Ten bob is yours if you'll only just try.

    D                     E
One day after cattle with my dear old dad

   A7                             D
He took fright at something which sent him clean mad

                            E
He spun round in circles, I took a nosedive

    A7                                  D
And woke up in bed boys more dead than alive

    D                    E
Now next year when rodeo time come around

   A7                          D
We rounds up old Whipstick and takes him to town

                        E
He threw every rider so far and so high

  A7                                          D
I should have been charged for the use of the sky

    D                      E
One day to the homestead a stranger rolled in

   A7                    D
He wore city clothes had mustacho so trim

                            E
He said "howdy gents, I’m a horse buyer and vet"

         A7                                       D
Then the boys tried to sell him old whipstick you bet

     D                     E
They finally succeeded all risking the sack

   A7                          D
As they legged the stranger on to whipstick’s back

                              E
The old horse spun round, and we all gave a shout

       A7                                           D
As the stranger's false teeth and glass eye tumbled out.

        G                      D
There's dough in the saddle if you only stick

    E                   A7  N.C.
Ten seconds upon him my pony Whipstick

        D                    E
So come on you gay stockmen, don't pass it by

A7                                   D
Ten bob is yours if you'll only just try.
