There's a scene that lingers in my memory
Of an old bush home and friends I long to see
That's why I am yearning
Just to be returning
Along the road to Gundagai

There's a track winding back
To an old-fashioned shack
Along the road to Gundagai
Where the blue gums are growing
And the Murrumbidgee's flowing
Beneath that sunny sky
Where my daddy and mother
Are waiting for me
And the pals of my childhood
Once more I will see.
Then no more will I roam,
When I'm heading right for home
Along the road to Gundagai.

When I get back there I'll be a kid again
Oh! I'll never have a thought of grief or pain
Once more I'll be playing
Where the gums are swaying
Along the road to Gundagai
