Tenterfield Saddler

The Late George Woolnough worked on High Street

And lived on manners

Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made his

saddles

And if you had questions about sheep or flowers or dogs

You'd 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 Jackeroo

Think I see Kangaroo up ahead

The son of George Woolnough went off and got married

And had a war baby

Though something went 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 had 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 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

There's no where for George and his library or the son

with his gun

To belong except in this song

Tim is a meddler

Tenterfield saddler make your bed

Fly again Cockatoo

Down on the ground Emu up ahead

Time is a traveller

Tenterfield Saddler turn your head

Fly again Cockatoo

Think I see Kangaroo up ahead.
