Now in my moleskin trousers and my William's boots

In my goose neck spurs I rake his fiery hide

The girls all shouting 'round the ringside

Now I've done a little fightin' in the western bars 
 F 
Done a little lovin' 'neath the moon and stars 
   Bb 
I wear bright clothes and shirts full of colour 
          F                             Bb 
And the girls know me as that certain fella

I'm the Cunnamulla fella 
 Bb
