Home Among the Gum Trees
I’ve been around the world,
A coupla times or maybe more. I’ve seen the sights I’ve had delights, On every foreign shore.
But when my mates all ask me, The place that I adore,
I tell them right away.
Chorus
Give me a home among the gum trees, With lots of plum trees,
A sheep or two and a kangaroo,
A clothesline out the back, Veranda out the front and an, Old rocking chair.
