Alex Hood Chaff Bag Charlie Lyrics

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
