The late George Wool-nough worked on High street
and lived on manners
Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made
his saddles. And if you had questions `bout sheep
or flowers or dogs you`d just ask the saddler
He lived without sin they`re building a li-b`ry
for him
CHORUS
Time is a traveler 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
Though something was wrong and it`s easier to
drink than 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
CHORUS
The grand-son of George has been all around the
world and lives no special place
Changed his last name and he married a girl with
an int`resting face
He`d almost forgotten them both because in the
life that he leads, there`s nowhere for George
and his libr`y or the son with his gun to belong
except in this song
