Intro
Verse
Tonight Here By The Roadside After Drivin' Hard All Day
Dreamin' Of The Old Folks And A Homestead O'er The Way
In Dreams I See The Old Place I'll Be There Within A Week
Where There's Gum Trees By The Roadway And The Willows By The Creek
Verse
Oh, I See The Homestead Cattle As Around The Place They Roam
The Old Man With The Horses On The Fields Of Golden Loam
And Mother In The Doorway Just To Make This Scene Completе
With Gum Trees By The Roadway And The Willows By The Creek. Hey
Interlude
Verse
Oh, I'd Like To Tеll My Story In A Simple Kind Of Way
It Happened To Many Hundreds In This War-Torn World Today
I Heard The Call For Duty So I Donned The Khaki Suit
And I Marched 'Way From The Gumtrees And The Willows By The Creek
Verse
Now When The War Was Over And We'd Marched The Victory Mile
The Ties With Home Were Broken And From There I Stayed A While
I Palled With Some Fellas Just To Live On Easy Street
And Forgot About The Gumtrees And The Willows By The Creek. Hey.
Interlude
Verse
Oh, But When You Land In Trouble And You're Placed Behind Those Bars
That's When You Start Thinking Of The Country Moon And Stars
And When At Last They Free You And You Step Out On The Street
Oh, Nothing Then Could Hold You From The Homestead By The Creek
Verse
Oh, That's Why Tonight I'm Standing By This Cheery Roadside Fire
Takin' In The Country Underneath The Summer Stars
From Now On You Will Find Me Where The Air Is Fresh And Sweet
Where Forever There'll Be Gum Trees And The Willows By The Creek. Hey

And The Willows By The Creek.
