Tenterfield Saddler

In the style of

Peter Allen

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
