Alex Hood - Chaff Bag Charlie lyrics

Chaff Bag Charlie's the worst horse thief The country ever knew With his bag of chaff he'll lead them away He knows just what to do He followed Jack and found their camp And waited out of sight Till Jack and Stumpy rode away Then he laughed with all his might See a shadow on the mountain Hear the lonely dingo howl Brumby Jack you'd better watch out Chaff Bag Charlie's on the prowl Little Billy saw him there And whinnied in alarm The bigger horses galloped up To save the colt from harm They circled Chaff Bag Charlie And they wouldn't let him go Then they all began to neigh To let their friend Jack know See a shadow on the mountain Hear the lonely dingo howl Brumby Jack you'd better watch out Chaff Bag Charlie's on the prowl Brumpy Jack soon hurried back When the neighing 'roused his fears He galloped up and his stock whip cracked 'Round Chaff Bag Charlie's ears Jack took the bag from Charlie's hands And scattered the chaff around Thanks for the extra feed he said You're a gentleman I'll be bound See a shadow on the mountain The dingo howls as the sun goes down Chaff Bag Charlie cold and hungry Tramps his weary way to town
