Georgina's Son chords by Slim Dusty
Intro 1
G
C
Verse 1
C
With trucks and
road trains taken over,
G
the drover is being pushed out
and the old tracks are seldom
C
used anymore.
This song is dedicated to the drovers of yesterday,
G
and today,
and to the last of the great
droving stock routes
C
to Georgina,
G
which begins at Lake Nash
near Mount Isa
and ends near Bourke
C
in western New South Wales.
I was born in the saddle,
F
born into a life I'll never leave.
C
G
The life of the drover
C
will always be the only life for me.
Like my father before,
F
I've ridden every stock route in the land
C
G
From the canning to the birdshole track,
C
I know them like the back of my hand
F
They call me Georgina's son,
C
the last one in a long proud family line
G
I'm the Georgina's son,
comin' back to ride the old track
C
one more time
F
From Lake Nash to the Blackstump,
C
this run's for the sake of old Lang's eye
G
The Georgina's son is comin' back
C
G
C
to see the old girl one last time
I have seen me some changes
F
in fifty years of fifteen miles a day
G
With droughts and floods
and midnight rushes
C
trying to take my life along the way
And I'm still in the saddle,
still trying to settle down
F
some restless moan
G
Stirred up by the distant roar
of a diesel in the night
C
Another duffer out to get my job
F
They call me Georgina's son
C
The last one in a long proud family line
G
I'm the Georgina's son
Comin' back to ride the old track
C
one more time
F
From Lake Nash to the Black Stump
C
This runs for the sake of auld lang syne
G
Cos Georgina's son's coming back
C
To see the old girl one last time
F
From Lake Nash to the Black Stump
This runs for the sake of auld
C
G
lang syne
Georgina's son's coming back
