THE BALLAD OF COBB & CO (Anon) There's a hustle and a bustle in the old hotel tonight The bar is full to bursting and the lights are gay and bright They're waiting for the horses that are beating through the night And they're waiting for the coach of Cobb & Co Cobb & Co, Cobb & Co And they're waiting for the coach of Cobb & Co There's Billy Jones the jackeroo still breathless from his ride He’s bought a brand-new sulky and it’s standin' just outside He's waiting for the pretty girl who's going to be his bride And she's coming on the coach of Cobb & Co Cobb & Co, Cobb & Co And she's coming on the coach of Cobb & Co Now the horses hooves are drumming, in the distance they're a-coming A far-off cloud is moving ‘cross the plain At breakneck speed they're driving, pretty soon they'll be arriving There'll be lots of cheer when old friends meet again There's Dan the old prospector and he's made his bag of gold He made a lucky strike, about two thousand pounds I'm told He's off to see the city lights before he gets too old And he's leaving on the coach of Cobb & Co Cobb & Co, Cobb & Co And he's leaving on the coach of Cobb & Co Jim Burke is mighty worried 'cause the drinks are running dry Unless he gets some money soon, he'll kiss his farm goodbye He’s written to the bank and now he's waiting their reply And he hopes it's on the coach of Cobb & Co Cobb & Co, Cobb & Co And he hopes it's on the coach of Cobb & Co The driver's whips are cracking and the horses hooves are dragging As across the red and dusty plain they race There's a distant light a-burning and the passengers are yearning For the comfort of a warm and kindly place And someone shouts ‘they're coming’ and the door is opened wide There's a rattle and a clatter and the coach is there outside With horses hot and steamy from their long and dusty ride With the coach that bears the name of Cobb & Co Cobb & Co, Cobb & Co With the coach that bears the name of Cobb & Co Youtube clip --Stewie.
