Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh we started out from Roto, when the sheds had all cut out
\nWe’d whips and whips of money as we meant to push about;
\nSo we humped our blueys serenely and made for Sydney town,
\nWith a three-spot check between us as wanted knocking down.<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nAnd we camped at Lazy Harry’s on the road to Gundagai,
\nThe road to Gundagai, five miles from Boonabri;
\nAnd we camped at Lazy Harry’s on the road to Gundagai.<\/p>\n

Well, we struck the Murumbidgee near the Yanco in a week,
\nAnd passed through old Narrandera, and crossed the Burnett Creek;
\nAnd we never stopped at Wagga, for we’d Sydney in our eye,
\nAnd we camped at Lazy Harry’s on the road to Gundagai.<\/p>\n

Well, I’ve seen a lot of girls, my lads, and drunk a lot of beer,
\nAnd I’ve met with some of both as has left me pretty queer.
\nBut for beer to knock you sideways and for girls to make you cry,
\nYou should camp at Lazy Harry’s on the road to Gundagai.<\/p>\n

Well, we chucked our flamin’ wags off and we walked into the bar
\nAnd we called for rum and raspberry and a shilling each cigar;
\nBut the girl that served the poison, she winked at Bill and I,
\nSo we camped at Lazy Harry’s on the road to Gundagai.<\/p>\n

In a week the spree was over, and our check was all knocked down,
\nSo we shouldered our Matildas and we turned our backs on town.
\nAnd the girls stood us a nobblers as we sadly said goodbye,
\nAnd we tramped from Lazy Harry’s on the road to Gundagai.<\/p>\n

Last Chorus:
\nYes we tramped from Lazy Harry’s on the road to Gundagai,
\nThe road to Gundagai, five miles from Boonabri;
\nAnd we tramped from Lazy Harry’s on the road to Gundagai.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
