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 |
