Verse:
     D                    E
They sing about horses of rodeo fame
   A7                       D
At home we've bombshell and Whipstick's his name
                             E
Thrown every stockman that's swung to his back
A7                                     D
Spreads 'em nicely like an old, busted sack

Chorus:
        G                      D
There's dough in the saddle if you only stick
    E                   A7  N.C.
Ten seconds upon him my pony Whipstick
        D                    E
So come on you gay stockmen, don't pass it by
A7                                   D
Ten bob is yours if you'll only just try.

Verse:
    D                     E
One day after cattle with my dear old dad
   A7                             D
He took fright at something which sent clean mad
                            E
He spun round in circles, I took a nosedive
    A7                                  D
And woke up in bed boys more dead than alive


Verse:
    D                    E
Now next year when rodeo time come around
   A7                          D
We rounds up old Whipstick and takes him to town
                        E
He threw every rider so far and so high
  A7                                          D
I should have been charged for the use of the sky

A7   A7   D


Verse:
    D                      E
One day to the homestead a stranger rolled in
   A7                    D
He wore city clothes had mustacho so trim
                            E
He said "howdy gents, I’m a horse buyer and vet"
         A7                                       D
Then the boys tried to sell him old whipstick you bet


Verse:
     D                     E
They finally succeeded all risking the sack
   A7                          D
As they legged the stranger on to whipstick’s back
                              E
The old horse spun round, and we all gave a shout
       A7                                           D
As the stranger's false teeth and glass eye tumbled out.


Chorus:
        G                      D
There's dough in the saddle if you only stick
    E                   A7  N.C.
Ten seconds upon him my pony Whipstick
        D                    E
So come on you gay stockmen, don't pass it by
A7                                   D
Ten bob is yours if you'll only just try.
