`Rover, rover, cattle-drover, where go you to-day?` I go to Cuppacumalomga, fifty miles away;   Over plains where Summer rains have sung a song of glee,   Over hills where laughing rills go seeking for the sea, I go to Cuppacumalonga, to my brother Bill.      Then come along, ah, come along!         Ah, come to Cuppacumalonga!            Come to Cuppacumalonga Hill! `Rover, rover, cattle-drover, how do you get there?` For twenty miles I amble on upon my pony mare,   The walk awhile and talk awhile to country men I know,   Then up to ride a mile beside a team that travels slow, And last to Cuppacumalonga, riding with a will.      Then come along, ah, come along!         Ah, come to Cuppacumalonga!            Come to Cuppacumalonga Hill! `Rover, rover, cattle-drover, what do you do then?` I camp beneath a kurrajong with three good cattle-men;   Then off away at break of day, with strong hands on the reins,   To laugh and sing while mustering the cattle on the plains - For up to Cuppacumalonga life is jolly still.      Then come along, ah, come along!         Ah, come to Cuppacumalonga!            Come to Cuppacumalonga Hill! `Rover, rover, cattle-drover, how may I go too?` I`ll saddle up my creamy colt and he shall carry you -   My creamy colt who will not bolt, who does not shy nor kick -   We`ll pack the load and take the road and travel very quick. And if the day brings work or play we`ll meet it with a will.      So Hi for Cuppacumalonga!         Come Along, ah, come along!            Ah, come to Cuppacumalonga Hill!
