Tenterfield Saddler
In the style of
Lyrics
the late george woolnough
worked on high street
and lived on manners
fifty-two years
he sat on his verandah
and made his saddle
and if you had
questions about sheep
or flowers or dogs
you just asked the saddler
he lived without sin
they're building a library
for him
time is a traveler
tenterfield saddler
turn your head
ride again jackaroo
think i see kangaroo up ahead
the son of george woolnough
went off and got married
and had a war baby
but 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 answer
about why his son
ever had need of a gun
time is a traveler
tenterfield saddler
turn your head
ride again jackaroo
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 nowhere for george
or his library
or the son with his gun
to belong
except in this song
time is a traveler
tenterfield saddler
turn your head
ride again jackaroo
think i see kangaroo up ahead
oh 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
turn your head
ride again jackaroo
think i see kangaroo up ahead
oh time is a tale-teller
tenterfield saddler
make your bed
fly away cockatoo
down on the ground
emu up ahead
