Just An Old Cattle Dog

A                                 
His ears are all tattered his hide
                      D
 is all battered and worn
E                             
For he’s been number one on the 
                              A
cattle run since he was born
A                                 
His old eyes light up when he 
                      D
knows there is work to be done
E                                 
Cause he’s just an old cattle dog 
                 A
out on the Billeroy run


[Verse 2]

A                                 
Though his old eyes have dimmed as
                          D
 the years have just trimmed him 
away
E                                 
Still he’s proud and he’s game 
                         A
he’ll be there at the end of the day
A                            
Right there by his side in his 
                      D
footsteps he’ll faithfully come
E                                 
Cause he’s just an old cattle dog 
                  A
out on the Billeroy run

[Chorus]

D                                 
He’s just an old cattle dog out on
            A
 the Billeroy run
B7                             
But he’s long in the tooth now I 
                       E
reckon his race nearly run
A                                 
Ah but he’ll be remembered for 
                 D
many years after he’s gone
E                                 
Cause he’s just an old cattle dog 
                    A
out on the Billeroy run

[Verse 3]

A                                 
His spirit is strong though his 
               D
body is tired and old
E                                 
He’ll still follow the boss 
                               A
through the long days just sharing 
the load
A                          
From the first light of dawn 
                         D
everyday to the set of the sun
E                                 
Cause he’s just an old cattle dog 
              A
out on the Billeroy run

[Verse 4]

A                             
There’s a tree by the homestead 
                              D
where many old mates have been laid
E                             
And the old dog just knows that 
                               A
he’ll join them one day in the shade
A                                 
He’ll be laid down to rest in that
                      D
 Billeroy soil when he’s done
E                                 
Cause he’s just an old cattle dog 
                A
out on the Billeroy run

[Chorus]
D                                 
He’s just an old cattle dog out on
             A
 the Billeroy run
B7                             
But he’s long in the tooth now I 
                   E
reckon his race nearly run
A                                 
Ah but he’ll be remembered for 
                 D
many years after he’s gone
E                                 
Cause he’s just an old cattle dog 
                     A
out on the Billeroy run
E                                 
Yeah he’s just an old cattle dog 
               A
out on the Billeroy run
