Home Among the Gumtrees - John Williamson

作曲：B Brown/Lew Brown/W Johnson

I've been around the world a couple

Of times or maybe more

I've seen the sights

I've had delights

On every foreign shore

But when me mates all ask me

The place that I adore

I tell them right away

Give me a home amongst

The gum trees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two a kangaroo

A clothes line out the back

Verandah out the front

And a old rocking chair

You can see me in the

Kitchen cooking up a roast

Or vegemite on toast

Just you and me a cup of tea

And later on we'll settle down

And mull up on the porch

And watch the possums play

Give me a home among the gum trees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two

A kangaroo

A clothes line out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

There's a safeway up the corner

And a woolies up the street

A brand new place they've

Opened up where they regulate the heat

But I'd trade them all tomorrow

For a little bush retreat

Where the kookaburras call

Give me a home among

The gum trees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two a kangaroo

A clothes line out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

Some people like their houses

With fences all around

Others live in mansions

And some beneath the ground

But me I like the bush

You know with rabbits running round

And a pumpkin' vine out the back

Give me a home among

The gum trees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two

A kangaroo

A clothes line out the back

Verandah out the front

And an old rocking chair

Give me a home amongst

The gum trees

With lots of plum trees

A sheep or two a kangaroo

A clothes line out the back

Verandah out the front

And a old rocking chair
