Melody -
O we started down from Roto When the sheds had all cut out, We'd whips and whips of rhino That we'd want to knock about, So we shouldered our Matildas And we headed out for town, With a three spot cheque between us That wanted knocking down. Chorus: But we camped at Lazy Harry's, On the road to Gundagai The road to Gundagai Not five miles from Gundagai Yes we camped at Lazy Harry's On the road to Gundagai Well we crossed the Murrumbidgee Near the Yanko in a week, We passed through old Narrandera And we camped on Burnett Creek, We never stopped at Wagga, For we'd Sydney in our eye, But we camped at Lazy Harry's On the road to Gundagai. Chorus: |
O I've seen a lot of girls my boys And drunk a lot of beer And I've met with some of both chaps As has left me mighty queer But for beer to knock you sideways And for girls to make you sigh You must camp at Lazy Harry's On the road to Gundagai Chorus: Well we chucked our blooming swags off And we walked into the bar And we called for rum-an'-raspb'ry And a shilling each cigar But the girl that served the poison She winked at Bill and I And we camped at Lazy Harry's Not five miles from Gundagai Chorus: In a week the spree was over And the cheque was all knocked down So we shouldered our Matildas And we turned our back on town And the girls they stood a nobbler As we sadly said good-bye And we tramped from Lazy Harry's Not five miles from Gundagai |
Chorus: And we tramped from Lazy Harry's Not five miles from Gundagai The road to Gundagai Not five miles from Gundagai Yes we tramped from Lazy Harry's On the road to Gundagai |
