There's a track winding back to a dear old fashioned shack,

Along the Road To Gundagai.

Where the Bluegums are growing,  The Murrumbidgee flowing,

Beneath that sunny blue sky.

Where my Mother and Father are waiting for me,

And the friends of my childhood once more I shall see.

For no more will I roam,  Now I'm heading straight for home,

Along the Road To Gundagai.
