And if you had questions about sheep or flowers or dogs
You'd just ask the /] saddler
He lived without sin... they're building a library for him
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler /] turn your head
Ride again jackaroo think I see kanga roo up ahead
The son of George Woolnough went off and got married and had a war baby
Though something was wrong and /] it's easier to drink than go crazy
And if there was questions about why the end was so sad,
Well George had no answers about why a son
ever has need of a gun
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler turn your head
Ride again jackaroo think I see kanga roo up ahead
The grandson of George has been all around
/] the world and lives in no special place
Changed his last name and /] he married a girl with an interesting face
He'd almost forgotten them both
Because in the life that he leads
There's nowhere for George and his library or the son with his /] gun
to belong
Except in this song
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler turn your head
Ride again jackaroo think I see kangaroo up ahead
The late George Woolnough worked on high street and lived on manners
Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made his saddles
