Tenterfield Saddler - Peter Allen

The Late George Woolnough

Worked on High Street

Lived on manners

Fifty-two years he sat on his veranda

And made his saddles

If you had questions about sheep

Or flowers or dogs

You'd just ask the saddler he lived without sin

They're building a library for him

Time is a traveler

Tenterfield saddler turn your head

Ride again Jackeroo

Think I see kangaroo up ahead

The son of George Woolnough went off

And got married

And had a war baby

Something went wrong

And it's easier to drink than go crazy

And if there were questions about

Why the end was so sad

George had no answers about why

His son ever had need of a gun

Time is a traveler

Tenterfield saddler turn your head

Ride again jackeroo

Think I see kangaroo up ahead

The grandson of George has been

All around the world

Lives no special place

He changed his last name and he married

A girl with an interesting face

He'd almost forgotten them both

Because in the life that he leads

There's no place for George and

His library or the son with the gun

To belong except in this song

Time is a traveler

Tenterfield saddler turn your head

Fly again cockatoo

Think I see kangaroo up ahead

Time is a tale-teller

Tenterfield saddler make your bed

Fly away cockatoo

Think I see kangaroo up ahead

Time is a tale-teller

Tenterfield saddler turn your head

Ride again jackeroo

Think I see kangaroo up ahead
