《Gumtrees By The Roadway》歌词

[00:00:09] Tonight here by the roadside

[00:00:11] I've been drivin' hard all day

[00:00:15] Dreamin' of the old folks

[00:00:17] And a homestead o'er the way

[00:00:20] In dreams I see the old place

[00:00:23] I'll be there within a week

[00:00:25] Where there's gum trees by the roadway

[00:00:28] And the willows by the creek

[00:00:32] I see the homestead cattle

[00:00:35] As around the place they roam

[00:00:38] The old man with the horses

[00:00:40] On the fields of gold alone

[00:00:43] And mother in the doorway

[00:00:46] Just to make this scene complete

[00:00:48] With gum trees by the roadway

[00:00:51] And the willows by the creek

[00:00:54] Oh I'd like to tell my story

[00:01:05] In a simple kind of way

[00:01:08] It happened to many hundreds

[00:01:10] In this war torn world today

[00:01:13] I heard the call for duty

[00:01:15] So I donned the khaki suit

[00:01:28] And I marched 'way from the gumtrees

[00:01:41] And the willows by the creek

[00:01:56] But when you land in trouble

[00:01:58] And you're placed behind those bars

[00:02:01] That's when you start thinking

[00:02:04] Of the country moon and stars

[00:02:06] And when at last they free you

[00:02:09] And you step out on the street

[00:02:12] Nothing then could hold you

[00:02:14] From the homestead by the creek

[00:02:18] That's why tonight I'm standing

[00:02:21] By this cheery roadside fire

[00:02:24] Takin' in the country

[00:02:26] Underneath the summer stars

[00:02:29] And from now on you will find me

[00:02:32] Where the air is fresh and sweet

[00:02:34] Where forever there'll be gum trees

[00:02:43] And the willows by the creek
