Along the Road to Gundagai
Music & Lyrics: Jack O'Hagan (1922)
There's a scene
There's a scene that lingers in my memory
Of an old bush home and friends I long to see
That's why I am yearing
Just to be returning
Alnong the road to Gundagai
_________
There's a track winding back
To an old-fashioned shack
Along the road to Gundagai
-----------–
Where the blue gums are growing
And the Murrumbidgee's flowing
Beneath that sunny sky
-----------–
Where my daddy and mother
Are waiting for me
And the pals of my childhood
Once more I will see.
-----------–
Then no more will I roam,
When I'm heading right for home
Along the road to Gundagai.
__________
When I get back I'll be a kid again
Oh! I'll never have a thought of grief or pain
Once more I'll be swaying
Where the gums are all swaying
Along the Road to Gundagai.
