        G                                             D
There's talk from up the Cooper, of a flood at Durham Downs

                            C                  G
And also at Karmona, just a little bit further down.

                                                            C
There's been big rains away up north round Longreach and at Jundah.

                           G              D                 G
With a bit of luck it will be our turn to hear the sound of thunder.

       D                                            C              G
And it won't be long till the holes are full, and a shine on every hide

   A7                                                D
Of cattle who in a few short months, would've surely died.

        C                              G                 C
Now the Cooper's coming down, and will flood out all the flats.

                       G                 D              G
Stock that were almost written off, will now be sold as fats. Hey

     G                                                        D
Soon it'll be time to muster our plant, and grease up all the packs.

                                   C                G
Get out our bells and hobbles with greenhide hobble straps.

                                                              C
Break some colts and make some ropes, and get everything just right.

                         G                      D             G
Hey, the Cooper's coming down they say so we'll hit the rum tonight.

             D                                 C                   G
And when the river flats are full of fats, the mustering's in full swing.

        A7                                                  D
You can bet ten bob you'll see a mob, with me riding on the wing.

     C                                          G                  C
Then late at night when all is quiet, round the mob you'll hear me sing.

                           G               D                   G
In the branding yard, on a bronco horse, a greenhide rope I'll swing. Hey

There'll be cigarette swags and carbide lights in packhorse mustering camps.

                               C                        G
Mobs of cleanskin mickeys, and nights that are cold and damp.

                                                                   C
Ah but we'll be there cause we don't care what the future it might bring.

                         G                 D                   G
Hey, the cooper's coming down old mate and mustering's in full swing. Hey

            D                                  C                   G
And when the river flats are full of fats, the mustering's in full swing.

        A7                                                  D
You can bet ten bob you'll see a mob, with me riding on the wing.

Then late at night when all is quiet, round the mob you'll hear me sing.

                     G                D                   G        G
of good times on the Cooper mate when mustering’s in full swing.

       C                   G               D                   G
In the branding yard, on a bronco horse, a greenhide rope I'll swing. Hey
