The Road To Gundagai Lyrics - Lloyd

The Road to Gundagai 

Oh we started out from Roto, when the sheds had all cut out 

We'd whips and whips of money as we meant to push about; 

So we humped our blueys serenely and made for Sydney town, 

With a three-spot check between us as wanted knocking down. 

cho: And we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai, 

The road to Gundagai, five miles from Boonabri; 

And we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai. 

Well, we struck the Murumbidgee near the Yanco in a week, 

And passed through old Narrandera, and crossed the Burnett Creek; 

And we never stopped at Wagga, for we'd Sydney in our eye, 

And we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai. 

cho: 

Well, I've seen a lot of girls, my lads, and drunk a lot of beer, 

And I've met with some of both as has left me pretty queer. 

But for beer to knock you sideways and for girls to make you cry, 

You should camp at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai. 

cho: 

Well, we chucked our flamin' wags off and we walked into the bar 

And we called for rum and raspberry and a shilling each cigar; 

But the girl that served the poison, she winked at Bill and I, 

So we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai. 

cho: 

In a week the spree was over, and our check was all knocked down, 

So we shouldered our Matildas and we turned our backs on town. 

And the girls stood us a nobblers as we sadly said goodbye, 

And we tramped from Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai. 

last cho: 

Yes we tramped from Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai, 

The road to Gundagai, five miles from Boonabri; 

And we tramped from Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.
