He's somewhere up in QueenslandA
The old folks used to sayB
He s somewhere up in QueenslandA
The people say to dayB
But Somewhere up in QueenslandA
That uncle used to knowC
That filled our hearts with wonderD
Seems vanished long agoC
He s gone to Queensland drovingC
The old folks used to sayB
He s gone to Queensland drovingC
The people say to dayB
But gone to Queensland drovingC
Might mean in language plainE
He follows stock in buggiesF
And gets supplies by trainE
-
He s knocking round in QueenslandA
The old folks used to sayB
He s gone to Queensland rovingC
His sweetheart says to dayB
But gone to Queensland rovingC
By mighty plain and scrubG
Might mean he drives a motor carH
For Missus MoneygrubG
-
He s looking for new countryI
The old folks used to sayB
Our boy has gone exploringC
Fond parents say to dayB
Exploring out in QueenslandA
Might only mean to someJ
He s salesman in the draperyI
Of a bush emporiumJ
-
To somewhere up in QueenslandA
Went Tom and Ted and JackC
From somewhere up in QueenslandA
The dusty cheques come backC
From somewhere up in QueenslandA
Brown drovers used to comeJ
And someone up in QueenslandA
Kept many a southern homeK
-
Somewhere up in QueenslandA
How many black sheep roamK
Who never write a letterD
And never think of homeK
For someone up in QueenslandA
How many a mother spokeC
For someone up in QueenslandA
How many a girl s heart brokeC
