Spirit Of The High Country Lyrics - Artist : Kernaghan, Lee
There's Saltbush and McGinness
A couple drovers down the track They came up here for muster It was four or five years back And there's something 'bout these hills That holds a man steadfast Saltbush and McGinness Will remain here till their last Dan Milligan's a bushman From hardened Irish stock And all there is about him Is chiselled from this granite rock Though the bottle's his companion And his anger's quick to rise A harder workin' fella You'd be hard pressed to find The spirit of the high country lives in these hills And the wild horses run on the wind Where Kosciuszko rises and the Snowy River flows That's where I'll be In the heart of the high country Old Conroy loves this country Where he was born and raised The selection handed down Where the wild horses graze He's the man who runs the station Where horsemen gather for the ride Across these grim and rugged hills Where the colts run free and wild The spirit of the high country lives in these hills And the wild horses run on the wind Where Kosciuszko rises and the Snowy River flows That's where I'll be In the heart of the high country And that man from Snowy River Where no other dared to go He turned back the wild bush horses Single handed brought them home And the distant drum of hoofbeats Of that bold and bravest ride Still echoes down the hills Swells your heart with pride The spirit of the high country lives in these hills And the wild horses run on the wind Where Kosciuszko rises and the Snowy River flows That's where I'll be In the heart of the high country The spirit of the high country lives in these hills And the wild horses run on the wind Where Kosciuszko rises and the Snowy River flows That's where I'll be In the heart of the high country |
