Georgina's Son Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C]

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

[Outro 1]
to see the old girl one last time
[C][G][C]
