Banjo Paterson - Morgan`s DogBanjo Paterson - Morgan`s Dog
Work rating: Medium


Morgan the drover explained, As he drank from his battered quart-pot, Many a slut I have trained; This is the best of the lot. Crossing these stringybark hills, Hungry and rocky and steep This is the country that kills Weakly and sore-footed sheep. Those that are healthy and strong Battle away in the lead, Carting the others along, Eating the whole of the feed. That`s where this little red slut Shows you what`s bred in the bone; Works it all out in her nut, Handles it all on her own. Backwards and forwards she`ll track, Gauging the line at a glance, Keeping the stronger ones back, Giving the tailers a chance. Weary and hungry and lame, Sticking all day to her job, Thin as a rabbit, but game, Working in front of the mob. Tradesmen, I call `em, the dogs, Those that`ll work in a yard; Bark till they`re hoarser than frogs, Makin` `em savage and hard. Others will soldier and shirk While there`s a rabbit to hunt: This is an artist at work; Watch her out there in the front.
