"Three Hundred Horses" lyrics

Three hundred horses patiently stand
Three hundred horses wearin' Cummins' brand
Harnessed up in the dawn's early glow
Three hundred horses a-rarin' to go

Three hundred horses all slick and grand
Three hundred horses are in my command
They're right for water, they're all well-shod
Just waitin' for the foreman to give me the nod

Oh, the load is heavy, the load is high
The tarps are on for keepin' it dry
There's over a hundred bales of wool
And three hundred horses a-waitin' to pull

Three hundred horses patiently stand
Three hundred horses wearin' Cummins' brand
Harnessed up in the dawn's early glow
Three hundred horses a-rarin' to go

Eastward the sun is raisin' his head
I've been up early and been well fed
The controls are in my two firm fists
Three hundred horses are champin' their bits

I'm out on the road, out where I belong
My mind is at ease, in my heart is a song
For a week-long trip, I've got all I need
And three hundred horses gathering speed

Through the land of the free, the land that I love
The land with the Southern Cross up above
Through the land of the sun and the wide-open spaces
Three hundred horses shoulder the traces

Hey, three hundred horses patiently stand
Three hundred horses wearin' Cummins' brand
From the tropical north to the southern snow
Three hundred horses––just see me go

Yeah, three hundred horses patiently stand
Three hundred horses wearin' Cummins' brand
Harnessed up in the dawn's early glow
Three hundred horses a-rarin' to go
