THE SUNLANDER by Slim Dusty.
Oh lay ee doo oo dee eee, oh lay ee doo oo dee eee
Oo oo ee dee, oo oo ee ee, oo oo a doo dee deee

Well my girl and me, were happy you see, until a week ago
Then one crazy night. we had a fight, and she said I had to go.

I travelled around, and finally found, I was in the sunshine state


In old Brisbane town, I was standing around, I went down to Roma St
I wandered along,
through the hurrying throng. to rest on a railway seat

When in rolled a train, I took in her name, to me it sounded grand
When she pulled out that day,
I was shouting ′hooray'.on the Sunlander from Queensland

With the future to guide,
the Boomerang (?) ride, right to the journey′s end

It rolls in on time,
boy I'm feelin/ just fine.The wheels roll out their song.
I've got nothin/ to lose,
I′m forgetting my blues. as the Sunlander′s rollin' on
