The trailers they are rattling as we load the cattle high.

Verse 4:
C                     Bb                  C
I glance back in my mirrors, where my trailers track behind,

I see a dust cloud risin', and filling up the sky.

There's the song of travelling cattle to the rhythym of the road,

While the horses 'neath the bonnet knuckle down and bear the load.
