Banjo's Man (1992 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty
He question is still asked today who is banjo's man
That man from snowy river renown throughout the land
Who ran those wild bush horses thru that rugged countryside
Who was that man he wrote of who made that famous ride
Some say he was jack Riley from down near corryong
They say the man could really ride the name to him belong
The gold Brit bribes and panders they all could lay a claim
But banjo singled no one out that's why there was no name
Banjo's man is riding he's riding with the best
In the ranges where in winter time it snows
He's riding now to reel them yes riding on the wind
In the country where the snowy river flows oh yes
Now banjo knew this country he knew it's riders well
He spent time in the ranges where snowy riders dwell
He saw them ride full gallop swinging stock whips in
Their hands
And as a tribute to them all he penned his famous man
Those men who roamed the mountains in search of straying stock
Who spent their lives on horseback in those rugged mountain blocks
They rode the hills and gorges where snowy river ran
And each and everyone of them could ride like banjo's man
He saw them running brumbies on the steep an timbered slopes
Catch the brumbies at a gallop with their green hide catching ropes
He saw that they had whipped the wildest country in this land
And so was formed the legend of the famous banjo man
Hey
Banjo's man is riding he's riding with the best
In the ranges where in winter time it snows
He's riding now to reel them yes riding on the wind
In the country where the snowy river flows oh yes
The legend is still living and I say it always will
As long as their are brumbies and horsemen in the hills
For they run them mountain brumbies yes run them till they stand
And there's horsemen in the snowy yeah as good as banjo's man
Banjo's man is riding he's riding with the best
In the ranges where in winter time it snows
He's riding now to reel them yes riding on the wind
In the country where the snowy river flows
Banjo's man is riding he's riding with the best
In the ranges where in winter time it snows
Yes he's riding now to reel them yes riding on the wind
