Lyrics:
I'm a ringer from the top end where ya gotta know your job
And what you're doin' each day on 2 million acres you bet
Ya have to earn your pay if ya wanna take it on
There's one thing that shouldn't be forgotten
Nobody else can do the job like a ringer from the top end
Out on the fence line swallowing dust, blood on my hands from the barb
Hoping that rogue bull won't see the hole before they get him in the yard
But I get a funny feeling in the middle of my back
Sure enough he's coming like a train down the track
That's when nobody else moves faster than the ringer from the top end
Instrumental
I'm a ringer from the top end
Where ya gotta muster 3 thousand head in a day
Move 'em to the yards and water them at end of day
It's not the sort of job you'd take if you're looking for a soft one
But ya take a kinda pride in saying, "I'm a ringer from the top end."
Well I roll out my swag 'neath the boab tree
And then I'm out like a light dreaming about those girls in town
Next thing it's broad daylight no time to dream of what might have been
I'm in a dirty bull catcher with the mustering team
I better keep my mind on the job 'cause I'm a ringer from the top end. Hey!
And nobody does the job better than a ringer from the top end. Oh Yeah!
Slim Dusty, AO MBE (born David Gordon Kirkpatrick; 13 June 1927 - 19 September 2003) was an Australian country music singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He was an Australian cultural icon and one of the country's most awarded stars, with a career spanning nearly seven decades and numerous recordings. He was known to record songs in the legacy of Australia, particularly of bush life and renowned Australian bush poets Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson that represented the lifestyle. The music genre was coined the "bush ballad", a style first made popular by Buddy Williams, the first artist to perform the genre in Australia, and also for his many trucking songs. Dusty was the first Australian to have a No. 1 international hit song, with a version of Gordon Parsons' "A Pub with No Beer". He received an unequalled 37 Golden Guitar and two Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and the Country Music Roll of Renown

This is my favourite slim dusty song
Most Australians wouldn't have the faintest idea on what goes on outside the city's.
*cities.
Richard R Rodger that.
Very sad because our outback is truly beautiful.
Yup,same here in the USA. We’re almost an entirely different species.
Damn fuckin right on a bush walk a kid fell over and the city kid said "it a big gash" when it was a a scratch
Always loved Slims songs since I first heard him singing in 1950 😂❤
2020 and still love Ol uncle Slim
Superb song by the great man! Never tire of his music. His band is so tight!
As beautiful as Slim and Australia gets
Never get tired of listening to this song,
good old slim
Classic song about the living life on the land
I love you slim you give me those proud Aussie chills
This is not the finale.
This is not a goodbye and it surely isn’t done.
I’m sorry Dusty, but I cannot listen to this song again until Australia is free.
Perhaps someone will do a rendition of this song, to show the struggle me and my generation- As well as the other ones went through to keep Australia, Australian…
Australia is in peril, ladies and gentlemen, and we must stand up and fight for her.
If not for us, then for our children that will inherit this beautiful land.
Advance Australia Fair!
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
In joyful strains, then let us sing!
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR!!!
Another great song from the best
Bev Linke Amen to that!

Wrong video😉
Have to say that as a, 'ringer from the Top End' this song makes me cringe.
Love most of Slims songs about cattle camps etc but not this one.
+pittycross How?
+Isaac Raschke Too much silly boasting nonsense. All stockmen in the old days did the same work if they were working in stock camps well out bush on a big station when only horses were used. Mustering, camp drafting, branding etc in bronco yards using greenhide ropes, breaking in etc etc and later catching buffalo by Toyota or trap yards.
Fair enough I guess.
@pittycross you make me cringe! And I must say you do not speak like you are a tough outback farmer at all. This song speaks volumes for all the ringers out there who do it tough and sleep in their swags! Mate being ringer is pussy's work now days compared to when they used to do it in the old days! You make all the women, men and all the hard working people in the outback cringe with this one comment!
"A tough outback farmer?" Never heard that term before in my 69 years, the last 50 of them here in the NT.
And I mean to take nothing away from all those in the game today, and I well know some in the north are still bull catching, even from horseback.
I worked in stockcamps and contract mustering camps here in the NT in the 60's when it was only horses, the only vehicle was the camp truck to carry gear. By then many stations had wire yards to hold cattle or we watched them at night, and it was all bronco yards for branding and cutting, no portable yards back then. Other times we camp drafted in the open. All stations had horse breakers or contract breakers and these horses went into the stock camps, often rough broke in.
No, I take nothing away from today's stockmen and women, but it was a far different job back in my day when stations still had blacks camps and the black stockmen always camped 40 or 50 yards away from the white stockmen in the stockcamp.
My point was Slim's song was a load on nonsense as back in the day all stockmen faced the same challenges, and 'Ringers From The Top End' were no different to most stockmen on big stations.
