Wagon trains were movin' back in 1835 |
|
Rollin' out across the overland |
|
Movin' up the country through the timber and the bush |
|
Opening up the state we know as Queensland |
|
The virgin bush resounded to the rumble of the gear |
|
And voices of the men who moved them on |
|
Across the rugged mountains to the valleys far below |
|
Wagon wheels were ever rollin' o-on |
|
Hey there keep those wagons rollin' |
|
Into the north we're goin' |
|
Make up your mind and come along, boy |
|
Across the swolen rivers to the ranges far beyond |
|
Wagon wheels were ever rollin' o-on |
|
A-rollin' on, rollin' o-on |
|
Yes, the wagon trains were movin' back in 1835 |
|
Rollin' out across the overland |
|
Movin' up the country through the timber and the bush |
|
Opening up the state we know as Queensland |
|
They were pioneering fam'lies that made up the wagon trains |
|
Branching out across the tablelands |
|
Opening up new homesteads where the wagon wheels had been |
|
Far into the northern timberla-ands |
|
Hey there keep those wagons rollin' |
|
Into the north we're goin' |
|
Make up your mind and come along, boy |
|
Across the swolen rivers to the ranges far beyond |
|
Wagon wheels were ever rollin' o-on |
|
A-rollin' on, yeah, rollin' o-on |
|
A-rollin' on, rollin' o-on [fade] |
