[00:00.00]Somewhere Up In Queensland (1996 Remaster) - Slim Dusty
[00:04.23]Now Billy was a blacksmith in the year of forty two
[00:08.79]He went right out of business there was no horses to shoe
[00:13.47]He packed his few belongings when the leaves began to fall
[00:18.11]He was going up to Queensland just to anyplace at all
[00:24.29]He had a horse and sulky and an old blue heeler dog
[00:29.06]They headed ever northward with a steady old jig jog
[00:33.93]They camped beside the river 'neath the willows green and tall
[00:38.61]As they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all
[00:44.56]One day as they were driving the hours dragged along
[00:49.57]He joined the friendly bush birds in qusen mountain song
[00:54.30]He overtook a stranger who had his swag and all
[00:58.80]And he was tramping up to Queensland just to anyplace at all
[01:04.83]Now Billy said to the stranger would you like to take a ride
[01:09.61]You can hop up in the sulky if it won't hurt yer pride
[01:14.46]The stranger thanked him kindly and climbed into the seat
[01:19.00]Where they talked about their livelihood and the fellers that you meet
[01:31.20]The stranger said I'm Jimmy and I was a shearer's mate
[01:35.80]Oh but the big contractors they say I'm out of date
[01:40.44]I kind of got discouraged so I rolled my swag and all
[01:45.17]And I'm I headin' up to Queensland just to anyplace at all
[01:51.31]The two became good cobbers as the weeks they rolled around
[01:55.98]They went over the border and through the darling downs
[02:00.62]They camped beside the river of a town I can't recall
[02:05.34]But it was somewhere up in Queensland anyplace at all
[02:11.37]Next morning they were waken with horses all around
[02:16.10]They saw the same old hitching rails in this old outback town
[02:20.86]Then Billy said to Jimmy in his old familiar drawl
[02:25.70]I think we'll settle down here good as any place at all
[02:31.54]They soon rented a stable and a shed without a floor
[02:36.57]Jimmy fixed a sign up and he nailed it on the door
[02:41.08]It read Blacksmith and shoein' done no job too big or small
[02:45.64]And it was somewhere up in Queensland at anyplace at all
[02:57.63]They had a boomin' business and stayed that way for years
[03:02.50]Billy did the shoein' while jimmy dressed the shears
[03:07.10]And of you chance to meet them this story they'll recall
[03:11.64]When they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all
[03:17.58]When they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all
[03:23.35]When they headed up to Queensland just to anyplace at all
