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.
