Tenterfield Saddler (Live/1977) - Peter Allen

The late George woolnough

Worked on High Street

And lived on Manners

52 years he sat on his veranda

And made his saddles

And if you had questions

About sheep or flowers or dogs

you just ask the saddler

He lived without sin

They're building a library for him

Time is a travller

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 was wrong

And it's easier to drink then go crazy

And if there were questions about why

The end was so sad

Well George had no answers about why a son

Ever has 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 nowhere for George

And his libary

Or the son with his gun

to Belong Except in this song

Time is a traveller

Tenterfield saddler turn your head

Ride again Jackaroo

Think I see kangaroo up ahead

Time is a medler

Tenterfield saddler make your bed

Fly away cookatoo

Down on the ground emu up ahead

Time is a tale teller

Tenterfield saddler turn your head

Ride again Jackaroo
