Lyrics
LAZY HARRY'S
Oh we started out from Roto when the sheds had all cut out
We'd whips and whips of rhino as we meant to push about
So we humped our blues serenely and made for Sydney town
With a three-spot cheque between us as wanted knocking down.
Chorus
But we camped at Lazy Harry's, on the road to Gundagai
The road to Gundagai, not five miles from Gundagai
Yes we camped at Lazy Harry's, on the road to Gundagai.
Well we struck the Murrumbidgee near the Yanco in a week
And passed through old Narrandera and crossed the Burnett Creek
And we never stopped at Wagga, for we'd Sydney in our eye
But we camped at Lazy Harry's, on the road to Gundagai.
Oh I've seen a lot of girls, my boys and drunk a lot of beer
And I've met with some of both, chaps, as has left me mighty queer
But for beer to knock you sideways, and for girls to make you sigh
You must camp at Lazy Harry's, on the road to Gundagai.
Well, we chucked our blooming swags off, and we walked into the bar
And we called for rum-an'-raspb'ry and a shilling each cigar
But the girl that served the poison, she winked at Bill and I -
And we camped at Lazy Harry's, on the road to Gundagai.
In a week the spree was over and the cheque was all knocked down
So we shouldered our Matildas, and we turned our back to town
And the girls they stood a nobbler as we sadly said goodbye
And we tramped from Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai.
Final Chorus
And we tramped from Lazy Harry's, on the road to Gundagai
The road to Gundagai, not five miles from Gundagai
Yes we tramped from Lazy Harry's, on the road to Gundagai.
