The Road To Gundagai
Oh we started out from Roto, when the sheds had all cut out
We'd whips and whips of money as we meant to push about;
So we humped our blueys serenely and made for Sydney town,
With a three-spot check between us as wanted knocking down.
cho: And we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai,
The road to Gundagai, five miles from Boonabri;
And we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.
Well, we struck the Murumbidgee near the Yanco in a week,
And passed through old Narrandera, and crossed the Burnett Creek;
And we never stopped at Wagga, for we'd Sydney in our eye,
And we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.
cho:
Well, I've seen a lot of girls, my lads, and drunk a lot of beer,
And I've met with some of both as has left me pretty queer.
But for beer to knock you sideways and for girls to make you cry,
You should camp at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.
cho:
Well, we chucked our flamin' wags off and we walked into the bar
And we called for rum and raspberry and a shilling each cigar;
But the girl that served the poison, she winked at Bill and I,
So we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.
cho:
In a week the spree was over, and our check was all knocked down,
So we shouldered our Matildas and we turned our backs on town.
And the girls stood us a nobblers as we sadly said goodbye,
And we tramped from Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.
last cho:
Yes we tramped from Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai,
The road to Gundagai, five miles from Boonabri;
And we tramped from Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.
A Estrada Para Gundagai
Oh, começamos de Roto, quando os galpões já tinham fechado
Tínhamos grana e mais grana, prontos pra nos divertir;
Então, carregamos nossas mochilas tranquilamente e seguimos pra Sydney,
Com um cheque de três pontos entre nós, que queríamos gastar.
Refrão: E acampamos no Lazy Harry's na estrada para Gundagai,
A estrada para Gundagai, a cinco milhas de Boonabri;
E acampamos no Lazy Harry's na estrada para Gundagai.
Bem, chegamos no Murumbidgee perto do Yanco em uma semana,
E passamos por Narrandera, cruzamos o Burnett Creek;
E não paramos em Wagga, pois tínhamos Sydney em mente,
E acampamos no Lazy Harry's na estrada para Gundagai.
Refrão:
Bem, eu vi muitas garotas, meus amigos, e bebi muita cerveja,
E conheci algumas de ambas que me deixaram bem confuso.
Mas pra cerveja que te derruba e pra garotas que te fazem chorar,
Você deve acampar no Lazy Harry's na estrada para Gundagai.
Refrão:
Bem, tiramos nossas roupas e entramos no bar
E pedimos rum com framboesa e um xelim cada charuto;
Mas a garota que serviu a bebida, piscou pro Bill e pra mim,
Então acampamos no Lazy Harry's na estrada para Gundagai.
Refrão:
Em uma semana a farra acabou, e nosso cheque já tinha ido pro espaço,
Então pegamos nossas Matildas e viramos as costas pra cidade.
E as garotas nos ofereceram um drink enquanto dizíamos adeus,
E seguimos do Lazy Harry's na estrada para Gundagai.
Último refrão:
Sim, seguimos do Lazy Harry's na estrada para Gundagai,
A estrada para Gundagai, a cinco milhas de Boonabri;
E seguimos do Lazy Harry's na estrada para Gundagai.
