Barefoot in the cabin Cause she had lost her shoes in mud While tying on a tow rope As the heavens opened up With the track all wet & slippery As a pork chop in the rain She kicked the motor over Had another go again The old truck groaned & tried to move But didn't have a chance Bogged down to the axles So Toot's dragged out the axe Cut down some branches Too put underneath the tyres Set to work with spade in hand Ankle deep in mire I'm telling you it's true The truckie was a lady Everybody knew her From Weipa to the Gulf From Cairns to Edward River And on all the Cape York stations Toot's the lady trucker Is a legend in the north
