IntroVerseTonight Here By The Roadside After Drivin' Hard All DayDreamin' Of The Old Folks And A Homestead O'er The WayIn Dreams I See The Old Place I'll Be There Within A WeekWhere There's Gum Trees By The Roadway And The Willows By The CreekVerseOh, I See The Homestead Cattle As Around The Place They RoamThe Old Man With The Horses On The Fields Of Golden LoamAnd Mother In The Doorway Just To Make This Scene CompletеWith Gum Trees By The Roadway And The Willows By The Creek. HeyInterludeVerseOh, I'd Like To Tеll My Story In A Simple Kind Of WayIt Happened To Many Hundreds In This War-Torn World TodayI Heard The Call For Duty So I Donned The Khaki SuitAnd I Marched 'Way From The Gumtrees And The Willows By The CreekVerseNow When The War Was Over And We'd Marched The Victory MileThe Ties With Home Were Broken And From There I Stayed A WhileI Palled With Some Fellas Just To Live On Easy StreetAnd Forgot About The Gumtrees And The Willows By The Creek. Hey.InterludeVerseOh, But When You Land In Trouble And You're Placed Behind Those BarsThat's When You Start Thinking Of The Country Moon And StarsAnd When At Last They Free You And You Step Out On The StreetOh, Nothing Then Could Hold You From The Homestead By The CreekVerseOh, That's Why Tonight I'm Standing By This Cheery Roadside FireTakin' In The Country Underneath The Summer StarsFrom Now On You Will Find Me Where The Air Is Fresh And SweetWhere Forever There'll Be Gum Trees And The Willows By The Creek.
