Tenterfield Saddler |
The Late George Woolnough worked on High Street, lived on manners |
Fifty-two years he sat on his veranda, made his saddles |
And if you had questions about sheep or flowers or dogs |
You’d just ask the saddler, he lived without sin |
They’re building a library for him |
Time is a traveler |
Tenterfield saddler, turn your head |
Ride again, Jackeroo |
Think I see kangaroo up ahead |
The son of George Woolnough went off and got married and had a war baby |
Though something went wrong and it’s easier to drink than go crazy |
And if there were questions about why the end was so sad |
George had no answers about why his son ever had need of a gun |
Time is a traveler |
Tenterfield saddler, turn your head |
Ride again jackeroo |
Think I see kangaroo up ahead |
The grandson of George has been all around the world |
And lives no special place |
He changed his last name and he married a girl with an interesting face |
He’d almost forgotten them both because in the life that he leads |
There’s no place for George and his library or the son with the gun |
To belong except in this song |
Tim is a meddler |
Tenterfield saddler, make your bed |
Fly again cockatoo |
Down on the ground, emu up ahead |
Time is a traveler |
Tenterfield saddler, turn your head |
Ride again jackeroo |
Think I see kangaroo up ahead |
Time is a traveler |
Tenterfield saddler, turn your head |
Ride again jackeroo |
Think I see kangaroo up ahead |
Time is a tale-teller |
Tenterfield saddler, make your bed |
