| With a three spot cheque between us as wanted knocking down | B |

| Chorus | C |

| But we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai | D |
| The road to Gundagai Not five miles from Gundagai | D |
| Yes we camped at Lazy Harry's on the road to Gundagai | D |

| Well we struck the Murrumbidgee near the Yanko in a week | D |

| Oh I've seen a lot of girls my boys and drunk a lot of beer | F |

| In a week the spree was over and the cheque was all knocked down | B |
| So we shouldered our Matildas and we turned our backs on town | B |
| And the girls they stood a nobbler as we sadly said Good bye | E |
| And we tramped from Lazy Harry's not five miles from Gundagai | D |
| - | |
