Somewhere Up In Queensland - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
Now Billy was a blacksmith in the year of forty two[00:00:04]
He went right out of business there was no horses to shoe[00:00:08]
He packed his few belongings when the leaves began to fall[00:00:13]
He was going up to Queensland just to anyplace at all[00:00:18]
He had a horse and sulky and an old blue heeler dog[00:00:24]
They headed ever northward with a steady old jig jog[00:00:29]
They camped beside the river 'neath the willows green and tall[00:00:33]
As they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all[00:00:38]
One day as they were driving the hours dragged along[00:00:44]
He joined the friendly bush birds in qusen mountain song[00:00:49]
He overtook a stranger who had his swag and all[00:00:54]
And he was tramping up to Queensland just to anyplace at all[00:00:58]
Now Billy said to the stranger would you like to take a ride[00:01:04]
You can hop up in the sulky if it won't hurt yer pride[00:01:09]
The stranger thanked him kindly and climbed into the seat[00:01:14]
Where they talked about their livelihood and the fellers that you meet[00:01:19]
The stranger said I'm Jimmy and I was a shearer's mate[00:01:31]
Oh but the big contractors they say I'm out of date[00:01:35]
I kind of got discouraged so I rolled my swag and all[00:01:40]
And I'm I headin' up to Queensland just to anyplace at all[00:01:45]
The two became good cobbers as the weeks they rolled around[00:01:51]
They went over the border and through the darling downs[00:01:55]
They camped beside the river of a town I can't recall[00:02:00]
But it was somewhere up in Queensland anyplace at all[00:02:05]
Next morning they were waken with horses all around[00:02:11]
They saw the same old hitching rails in this old outback town[00:02:16]
Then Billy said to Jimmy in his old familiar drawl[00:02:20]
I think we'll settle down here good as any place at all[00:02:25]
They soon rented a stable and a shed without a floor[00:02:31]
Jimmy fixed a sign up and he nailed it on the door[00:02:36]
It read Blacksmith and shoein' done no job too big or small[00:02:41]
And it was somewhere up in Queensland at anyplace at all[00:02:45]
They had a boomin' business and stayed that way for years[00:02:57]
Billy did the shoein' while jimmy dressed the shears[00:03:02]
And of you chance to meet them this story they'll recall[00:03:07]
When they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all[00:03:11]
When they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all[00:03:17]
When they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all[00:03:23]
