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]
