Lyrics The Sunlander - Slim Dusty

The Sunlander

Oh lay ee doo oo dee eee, oh lay ee doo oo dee eee
Oo oo ee dee, oo oo ee ee, oo oo a doo dee deee
Well my girl and me, were happy you see, until a week ago
Then one crazy night.
we had a fight, and she said I had to go.
I travelled around, and finally found, I was in the sunshine state
In old Brisbane town, I was standing around, I went down to Roma St
I wandered along,
through the hurrying throng.
to rest on a railway seat
When in rolled a train, I took in her name, to me it sounded grand
When she pulled out that day,
I was shouting 'hooray'.on the Sunlander from Queensland
With the future to guide,
the Boomerang (?) ride, right to the journey’s end
It rolls in on time,
boy I’m feelin/ just fine.
The wheels roll out their song.
I’ve got nothin/ to lose,
I’m forgetting my blues.
as the Sunlander’s rollin' on
