Slim Dusty & His Bushlanders Lyrics

"Along The Road To Gundagai / I'm Going Back Again To Yarrawonga / The Man From The Never Never / That Old Bush Shanty Of Mine"

[Along 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 growin' and the Murrumbidgee's flowin'
Beneath the sunny sky
There's my mother and daddy a-waitin' for me
And the pals of my childhood once more I shall see
Then no more will I roam when I'm headin' straight for home
Along the road to Gundagai

[I'm Going Back Again to Yarrawonga:]

I'm going back again to Yarrawonga
In Yarrawonga I'll linger longer
I'm goin' back again to Yarrawonga
Where the skies are always blue
And when I'm back again in Yarrawonga
I'll soon be stronger than old Mahonga
You can have all your Tennessee and Caroline
I'm gonna get some lovin' from that mammy of mine
I'm goin' back again to Yarrawonga
To the land of the kangaroo

[The Man from the Never Never:]

My legs are kind of bowed from horses that I've rode
Through the saltbush and the sand
I've got that rock and rollin' beat from this rollin' saddle seat
Because I live in the never never land

I've never travelled down to all your high-class towns
Because I'm right just where I am
Our town's a pub and general store, what's the use of any more?
Away out in the never never land

[That Old Bush Shanty of Mine:]

And you can bet I'll be set when I get back to that
Old bush shanty of mine
There I'll be, where I'll see folks so dear to me
And everything will be fine
There'll be brother and sister, old mum and grey-haired dad
I know they're just the greatest pals that I've ever had
And I'll hope, pray and sigh I'll be there until I die
In that old bush shanty of mine
