There's a scene that lingers in my memory –
Of an old bush home and friends I long to see –
That's why I am yearning
Just to be returning
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 growing
And the Murrumbidgee's flowing
Beneath that sunny sky –
Where my daddy and mother
Are waiting for me
And the pals of my childhood
Once more I will see.
Then no more will I roam,
When I'm heading right for home
Along the road to Gundagai.
When I get back there I'll be a kid again –
Oh! I'll never have a thought of grief or pain –
Once more I'll be playing
Where the gums are swaying
Along the road to Gundagai –
I vote that Issy's "Turkey in the Straw" should get points - I love it!
