Tonight here by the roadside[00:00:09]

I've been drivin' hard all day[00:00:11]

Dreamin' of the old folks[00:00:15]

And a homestead o'er the way[00:00:17]

In dreams I see the old place[00:00:20]

I'll be there within a week[00:00:23]

Where there's gum trees by the roadway[00:00:25]

And the willows by the creek[00:00:28]

I see the homestead cattle[00:00:32]

As around the place they roam[00:00:35]

The old man with the horses[00:00:38]

On the fields of gold alone[00:00:40]

And mother in the doorway[00:00:43]

Just to make this scene complete[00:00:46]

With gum trees by the roadway[00:00:48]

And the willows by the creek[00:00:51]

Oh I'd like to tell my story[00:00:54]

In a simple kind of way[00:01:05]

It happened to many hundreds[00:01:08]

In this war torn world today[00:01:10]

I heard the call for duty[00:01:13]

So I donned the khaki suit[00:01:15]

And I marched 'way from the gumtrees[00:01:28]

And the willows by the creek[00:01:41]

But when you land in trouble[00:01:56]

And you're placed behind those bars[00:01:58]

That's when you start thinking[00:02:01]

Of the country moon and stars[00:02:04]

And when at last they free you[00:02:06]

And you step out on the street[00:02:09]

Nothing then could hold you[00:02:12]

From the homestead by the creek[00:02:14]

That's why tonight I'm standing[00:02:18]

By this cheery roadside fire[00:02:21]

Takin' in the country[00:02:24]

Underneath the summer stars[00:02:26]

And from now on you will find me[00:02:29]

Where the air is fresh and sweet[00:02:32]

Where forever there'll be gum trees[00:02:34]

And the willows by the creek[00:02:43]
