leave him in the long yard
Singer:slim dusty
yes he's lookin' kind of jaded
and his sight is not the best
and the hair around his muzzle's turnin' grey
he has seen a hundred musters
and i think it's only fair
that we leave him in the longyard here today
he was broken in the sixties
maybe sixty three or four
never faltered always seemed to be on hand
never have i seen him beaten
and at a night watch he was pick of all the land
so leave him out there in the longyard
leave him out there with his mate the baldy bay
leave him there till after smoko
we'll pull his tail and turn him out today

that we leave him in the longyard here today
he's entitled to some kindness
in return for all he's been
now he's failin' and his step is gettin' slow
let him squander his last summer
by the river with his mates
in the paddock where the sweetest grasses grow
so leave him out there in the longyard
leave him out there with his mate the baldy bay
with his mate that he can graze and he can laze with
leave him there and we will turn him out today
so leave him out there in the longyard

leave him there and we will turn him out today
leave him there and we will turn him out today
