LAZY HARRY'S (AUSTRALIANA)

LAZY HARRY'S (AUSTRALIANA)

Oh... we started down from Roto
When the sheds had all cut out,
We'd whips and whips of rhino
That we'd want to knock about,
So we shouldered our Matildas
And we headed out for town,
With a three spot cheque between us
That 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 crossed the Murrumbidgee
Near the Yanko in a week,
We passed through old Narrandera
And we camped on Burnett Creek,
We never stopped at Wagga,
For we'd Sydney in our eye,
But we camped at Lazy Harry's
On the road to Gundagai. 

Chorus:
O 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 

Chorus:

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
Not five miles from Gundagai 

Chorus:

In a week the spree was over
And the cheque was all knocked down 
So we shouldered our Matildas
And we turned our back on town 
And the girls they stood a nobbler
As we sadly said good-bye 
And we tramped from Lazy Harry's
Not five miles from Gundagai 

Chorus:
And we tramped from Lazy Harry's
Not five miles from Gundagai
The road to Gundagai 
Not five miles from Gundagai 
Yes we tramped from Lazy Harry's
On the road to Gundagai
