The late George Wallnough worked on High Street and lived on manners
52 years he sat on his verandah, makin' his saddles
And if you had questions about sheep or flowers or dung
You just asked 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 kangaroo up ahead

The son of George Wallnough went off and got married and had a war baby
But something was wrong and it's easier to drink than go crazy
And if there were 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 kangaroo up ahead

The grandson of George has been all around the world and lives 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

Time is a meddler
Tenterfield Saddler
Make a bet
Fly away c___atoo
Down on the ground
Emu up ahead

Time is a tale teller
Tenterfield Saddler
Turn your head
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

Time is a tale teller
Tenterfield Saddler
Make a bet
Fly away c___atoo
Down on the ground
Emu up ahead
