[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:时间戳工具V2.0_20200810] [offset:0] [00:09.57]Tonight here by the roadside [00:12.00]I've been drivin' hard all day [00:15.30]Dreamin' of the old folks [00:17.52]And a homestead o'er the way [00:20.67]In dreams I see the old place [00:23.10]I'll be there within a week [00:25.80]Where there's gum trees by the roadway [00:28.44]And the willows by the creek [00:32.49]I see the homestead cattle [00:35.25]As around the place they roam [00:38.34]The old man with the horses [00:40.59]On the fields of gold alone [00:43.77]And mother in the doorway [00:46.17]Just to make this scene complete [00:48.78]With gum trees by the roadway [00:51.51]And the willows by the creek [00:54.84]Oh I'd like to tell my story [01:05.12]In a simple kind of way [01:08.22]It happened to many hundreds [01:10.65]In this war torn world today [01:13.71]I heard the call for duty [01:16.05]So I donned the khaki suit [01:25.38]And I marched 'way from the gumtrees [01:41.49]And the willows by the creek [01:56.52]But when you land in trouble [01:58.95]And you're placed behind those bars [02:01.95]That's when you start thinking [02:04.29]Of the country moon and stars [02:06.93]And when at last they free you [02:09.53]And you step out on the street [02:12.63]Nothing then could hold you [02:14.85]From the homestead by the creek [02:18.96]That's why tonight I'm standing [02:21.51]By this cheery roadside fire [02:24.66]Takin' in the country [02:26.97]Underneath the summer stars [02:29.70]And from now on you will find me [02:32.07]Where the air is fresh and sweet [02:34.68]Where forever there'll be gum trees [02:43.98]And the willows by the creek
