Karaoké Tenterfield Saddler Peter Allen

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
