The cattle are moving and mooing, they kick up the dust.
They are in a large herd to reach sale-time they must.
Brown Brindle Black and White.
There’ all the colours of cattle, from dark to light.
The stockmen keep them moving over rough surface and flat.
They must not move them too quickly, as they have to stay fat.
The herd smells water, the stockmen work hard from the start.
To keep the herd from breaking apart.
Then the river appears, it’s a waste holding them all back.
They clamber down every which way, not following the track.
