[Verse]
A
Now I'm a scrubber runner and a breaker too
   E
I live on damper and wallaby stew
 A
I've got a big cattle dog with a staghound cross
    E                                    A
I never saw a scrubber that we couldn't toss
 A
'Cause I'm the feller from Cunnamulla
               E         A
Yes I'm the Cunnamulla feller

 A
Now once when I was droving on the cattle trails
   E
I met a little girl her name was Ada Vales
         A
I said marry me Ada and I'll be the feller
            E                  A
And we'll settle down in Augathella
 A
I'll be the feller at Augathella
                  E          A
Yes I'll be the Augathella feller

 A
Oh she said her daddy's name was Charlie Ville
     E
She had a lot of kiddies and a lot of bills
       A
So I grabbed my horse that was nice and handy
       E                             A
And I never stopped 'til I reached Dirranbandi
 A
I was the dandy at Dirranbandi
                E          A
Yes I was the Dirranbandi dandy

 A
Now in my moleskin trousers and my William's boots
 E
Aboard an outlaw as she leaves the chutes
        A
In my goose neck spurs I rake their fiery hides
          E                               A
And the girls all shouting 'round the ringside
 A
Oh he's the feller from Cunnamulla
                E         A
Yes he's the Cunnamulla feller

 A
Now I've done a little fightin' in the western bars
 E
Done a little lovin' 'neath the moon and stars
   A
I wear bright clothes and shirts full of colour
          E                             A
And the girls know me as that certain feller
 A
Yes he's the feller from Cunnamulla
               E          A
Yes he's the Cunnamulla feller
              E          A
Oh he's the Cunnamulla feller
              E           A
Yes he's the Cunnamulla feller
