And if you had questions about sheep or flowers or dogs
C11 C7 C7sus F
You just asked the saddler, he lived without sin, they're building a library for him
[Chorus]

Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler
C11 C7
Turn your head
C11 Gm7 C11 F
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead
[Verse 2]
F C Dm
The son of George Woollnough went off and got married and had a war baby

And if there were questions about why the end was so sad
C11 C7 C7sus F
Well George had no answers about why a son ever has need of a gun
[Chorus]

There's nowhere for George and his library or the son with his gun to belong

Except in this song

Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

Time is a meddler , Tenterfield Saddler

Make a bet

Fly away cockatoo, Down on the ground, Emu up ahead
