Tenterfield Saddler – Olivia Newton-John & Peter Allen
By
The late George Woolnough Worked on High Street And lived on manors 52 years he sat on his veranda And made his saddles and if you had questions About sheep or flowers or dogs You just ask the saddler He lived without sin 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
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 than go crazy And if there were questions about why The end was so sad Well George had no answers about why a son Ever have need of a gun
Time is a traveller 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 in 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 that he leads Theres 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 medler 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
