Still Circling Lyrics

He's moving all his stock to that big paddock

fires coming through and its coming fast

sixteen hundred sheep, two hundred cattle

when it comes to giving up, he'd be the last

And that old brigade came by with the bad news

the big burns on its way and we need your help

so he kissed his wife goodbye and said I love you

and he left his stock to 'fend for themselves

It’s just how it goes

Chorus

And he's still circlin'

round and round upon this dusty land

and he'll keep the mob together while he's workin'

always keen to lend a helpin' hand

and he's still circlin'

Wind shift turned the fire past his homestead

And he was faced with puttin’ down his injured stock

Across that smoky flat all men lay breathless

His collie circled round the frightened mob

Doing his job

Chorus

Through drought, flood and fire

For hardship and good times

I raise my glass to every man and dog

You look your ways fine

Chorus

Still circling...
