He was his masters best ever mate
An old stocky blue heeler cattle dog~
The endless times n memories they d had
Sitten outback haven smoko on a hollow log~
Seemed to always be together they were
Old Bruno had been with his master since he was a pup~
Way before daybreak till his master went inside at night
Bruno was always on duty way before sun up~
Working the sheep n cattle too
With his master every single day~
And when his master went into town
Bruno was on the ute back on the tray~
No body ever went near that ute
Bruno guarded it with all he had~
His master had old bruno for years
Back as far as when his master was just a lad~
Well his master had a real bad accident
He was breaking in a horse n broke his back~
Old Bruno waited round for a year
And one day simply walked away up that scrubby track~
His master wondered what happened to his dog
His lifetime good old mate~
Guess old Bruno decided his working duties were now over
And simply gave up the wait~
Every now n then away out there
A big old blue heeler has been seen about~
They reakon its old Bruno checken cattle
And do you know that I wouldnt doubt~
