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Oh but the big contractors they say I'm out of date[00:01:35]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]
