Oh there's red rock and dust in this land of romance
Where a river bank will bust without warning
And I had to leave my girl on the shores of the ocean to travel this big country 'round
Oh I'll thumb a trucky down or catch a goods train
And I'm telling you there's no stopping me now
Well I'm going to end up nowhere but I'll Advance Australia Fair 'til I've travelled this big country 'round.
Yes I'll be going waltzing with Matilda and I'll travel up the road to Gundagai,
But I'll be steering clear of that pub with no beer when I travel this big country 'round.
Oh there's red rock and dust in this land of romance
Where a river bank will bust without warning
And I had to leave my girl on the shores of the ocean to travel this big country 'round
Now you may call me a jolly swagman,
But I don't regret a thing that I've done,
so click go the shears and I'll be gone for years as I'm travelling this big country 'round
Oh this land is so big and so lonely,
But a man can get away from it all
So untie that kangaroo for he won't catch old man Emu for he's travelling this big country round
Oh there's red rock and dust in this land of romance
Where a river bank will bust without warning
And I had to leave my girl on the shores of the ocean to travel this big country 'round
