The Boy from Oz movie - Tenterfield Saddler lyrics

Song by Hugh Jackman<br /><br>

(Peter)<br>

The Late George Woolnough worked on High Street<br>

And lived on manners<br>

Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made his saddles<br>

And if you had questions bout sheep or flowers or dogs<br>

You'd just ask the saddler, he lived without sin<br>

They're building a library for him<br>

<br>

Time is a traveller<br>

Tenterfield saddler turn your head<br>

Ride again Jackeroo<br>

Think I see Kangaroo up ahead<br>

<br>

The son of George Woolnough went off and got married<br>

And had a war baby<br>

Though something went wrong and it's easier to drink than go crazy<br>

And if there were questions bout why the end was so sad<br>

Well, George had no answers bout why a son<br>

Ever had need of a gun<br>

<br>

Time is a traveller<br>

Tenterfield Saddler turn your head<br>

Ride again Jackaroo<br>

Think I see Kangaroo up ahead<br>

<br>

The grandson of George has been all around the world<br>

And lives no special place<br>

Changed his last name and he married a girl with an interesting face<br>

He'd almost forgotten them both because in the life that he leads<br>

There's no where for George and his library or the son with his gun<br>

To belong except in this song<br>

<br>

Tim is a meddler<br>

Tenterfield saddler make your bed<br>

Fly again Cockatoo<br>

Down on the ground Emu up ahead<br>

<br>

Time is a tale-teller<br>

Tenterfield Saddler make your bed<br>

Fly again Cockatoo<br>

Think I see Kangaroo up ahead<br>

<br>

Time is a traveller<br>

Tenterfield Saddler turn your head<br>

Ride again Jackaroo<br>

Think I see Kangaroo up ahead.<br>

<br>
