UP THE OLD NULLA ROAD[00:00:00]

The old days were good when we lived in the bush[00:00:05]

And worked pretty hard everyday[00:00:08]

We never felt lonely and always felt free[00:00:11]

Away from the world and its ways[00:00:15]

We lived off the land and the bush was our friend[00:00:18]

Everyone shared their life and its load[00:00:22]

There was no television and the wireless was new[00:00:26]

When we lived up the old Nulla road[00:00:31]

I rode to school three or four miles[00:00:34]

There was twenty odd kids counting me[00:00:38]

Our teacher was known as old Johnny Knight[00:00:41]

His mole looked like Hitler’s to me[00:00:45]

They taught English history but little of our own[00:00:49]

The empire was then very strong[00:00:53]

But we were a bunch of wild brumbies at school[00:00:56]

It was there I first sung my first song[00:00:59]

They held their bush dances at somebody’s place[00:01:05]

I’d say about every two weeks[00:01:08]

Presentations were done and bush ballads were sung[00:01:12]

At the dances they held up the creek[00:01:16]

There was old Billy Kyle and his bush fiddle style[00:01:19]

And he was a band on his own[00:01:23]

And the dancers stayed on till the crack of the dawn[00:01:26]

Then a jackass would laugh them all home[00:01:30]

Fiddle Solo[00:01:50]

I remember one dance it was only by chance[00:01:50]

Us kids found some beer in a stump[00:01:53]

And mother was not real impressed when they said[00:01:57]

“your sons outside getting drunk”[00:02:00]

The best time was tea when the baskets came out[00:02:05]

And all those fresh cakes to behold[00:02:08]

The old men sipped their tea and then sucked on their pipes[00:02:11]

When we lived up the old Nulla road[00:02:16]

There were Dunbars and Kyles and Ryans and Miles[00:02:21]

Neighbours as solid as stone[00:02:24]

Though I’ve been away now for many long years[00:02:28]

The valley is always my home[00:02:31]

I’ve always remembered that big mountain moon[00:02:35]

Hung over the trees like a glow[00:02:38]

I went home in the moonlight content with the world[00:02:42]

When we lived up the old Nulla road[00:02:47]

In the bush when we lived up the old Nulla road[00:02:50]
