The Stable Lad
Tono: Original
[Intro]
Am D G
[Verse]
Am
When Cobb & Co. ran coaches from the Buller to the Grey
D G
I went for a livery-stable lad in a halt up Westport way
Am G Am
And I gave my heart to a red-haired girl, and I left it where she lay
G C G D G
By the winding Westland highway from the Buller to the Grey
[Instrumental]
D G Am D G
[Verse]
Am
I've got Neatsfoot on me fingers, and lamp-black on me face
D G
I've saddle-soaped the harness and hung each piece in place
Am G Am
But my heart's not in the stable, it's in Charleston far away
G C G D G D
Where Cobb & Co. goes rolling by from the Buller to the Grey
[Verse]
G Am
There's a red-haired girl in Charleston, she's dancing in the bar
D G
And I know she's not like other girls who dance where miners are
Am G Am
And I can't forget her eyes and everything they seemed to say
G C G D G D
The day I rode with Cobb & Co. from the Buller to the Grey
[Verse]
G Am
There's a schooner down from Murchison, I can hear her in the gorge
D G
And I'll have to work the bellows now and redden up the forge
Am G Am
I'm going to strike that iron so hard, she'll hear it far away
G C G D G D
In the roaring European where the road runs by from Grey
[Verse]
G Am
Some day I'll be teamster with the ribbons in me fist
D G
And I'll drive that Cobb & Co. Express through rain and snow and mist
Am G Am
Drive a four-in-hand to Charleston, and no matter what they say
G C G D G
I'll take me girl up on the box and marry her in Grey
[Instrumental]
D G Am D G
[Verse]
Am
There's a graveyard down in Charleston where moss trails from the trees
D G
And the Westland wind comes moaning in from off the Tassman Seas
Am G Am
And it's there they laid my red-haired girl, in a pit of yellow clay
G C G D G D G
As Cobb & Co. went rolling by from the Buller to the Grey
