Tenterfield Saddler Lyrics

And 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 traveller, Tenterfield saddler turn your head
Ride again jackaroo think I see kanga roo up ahead
The son of George Woolnough went off and got married and had a war baby
Though something was wrong and it's easier to drink than go crazy
And if there was questions about why the end was so sad,
Well George had no answers about why a son
ever has need of a gun
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler turn your head
Ride again jackaroo think I see kanga roo up ahead
The grandson of George has been all around
the world and lives in no special place
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 nowhere for George and his library or the son with his gun
to belong
Except in this song
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler turn your head
Ride again jackaroo think I see kangaroo up ahead
The late George Woolnough worked on high street and lived on manners
Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made his saddles
