Tenterfield Saddler

  • The late George Woolnough worked on high street
  • And live on manners
  • Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made his saddles
  • And if you had questions about sheep or flowers or dogs
  • You just asked the Saddler
  • He lived without sin and they're building a library for him
  • Time is a traveller Tenterfield Saddler turn your head
  • Ride again Jackaroo think I see Kangaroo up ahead
  • Now the son of George Woolnough went off and got married
  • And had a war baby
  • But something was wrong and it's easier to drink then go crazy
  • And if there were questions about why the end was so sad
  • George had no answers about why a son ever has need of a gun
  • Time is a traveller Tenterfield Saddler turn your head
  • Ride again Jackaroo think I see Kangaroo up ahead
  • Now the grandson of George has been all around the world
  • And lives no special place
  • Changed his last name and he married a girl
  • With an interesting face
  • He'd almost forgotten them both
  • Because in the life he leads
  • There's nowhere for George and his library
  • Or the son with his gun to belong
  • Except in this song
  • Time is a traveller Tenterfield Saddler turn your head
  • Ride again Jackaroo think I see Kangaroo up ahead
  • Time is a meddler Tenterfield Saddler make your bed
  • Fly away Cockatoo down on the ground Emu up ahead
  • Time is a tale teller Tenterfield Saddler make your bed
  • Fly away Cockatoo down on the ground Emu up ahead
  • Time is a traveller Tenterfield Saddler turn your head
  • Turn your head , turn your head
