Give My Regards To Edna

Stan Coster

[Verse 1]
When you're passing through Mount Isa
Don't forget to take the time
To go around ol' mate, and meet
A real good friend of mine

[Verse 2]
Do not look in beauty parlours
Or the modern fashion stores
You'll find her at the sale yard
Loading fats or dipping stores

[Verse 3]
She's as hard and tough as greenhide
With a heart of solid gold
Educated on the stock routes
In the droving days of old

[Verse 4]
Taking nightwatch, tethering horses
On the famous Murranji
Living close to God and nature
Where the Wedgetail eagles fly

[Verse 5]
Oh, her father was a teacher
And he put her to the test
In the college of the stockmen
On the big camps in the west

[Verse 6]
She can educate a young horse
In a firm and gentle way
Just like her father taught her
On the stock routes in his day

[Verse 7]
And she takes a lot of shifting
From a Barcoo Poley seat
In a fair go on a bucker
She’s pretty hard to beat

[Verse 8]
And in the rodeo arena
At the Isa every year
With the pick up men she’s working
Shifting stock and tending gear
(Hey!)

[Verse 9]
She can ply the awl an' needles
She can use the shoein’ gear
And when the day's work's over, mate
She’ll join you in a beer

[Verse 10]
Well respected by the bushmen
All through the northern line
She's a credit to her father
From the old stock riding line

[Verse 11]
She has known the joys and sorrows
Of a mother and a wife
And it mostly is the good
Who are the losers in this life

[Verse 12]
So when you meet her she would greet you
With a handshake rough and hard
So don't forget to tell her, mate
That I send my kind regards

[Outro]
Yes, mate, don't forget to tell her
That I send my best regard
