Lyrics

  1. Tramping Australia’s highways
    Out where the tall trees grow
    Over the hills and thru’ byways
    Ever together we’ll go

Chorus
Bushwhacker, Bushwhacker
Dear pal of mine
Jogging along the track together
Cheerful in fair or stormy weather friends ever
I’ll never be aught but true
Rain or shine, mate o’ mine
‘Till the last hill we climb
You will find I’m a Bushwhacker, too

  1. When you’re white haired and olden
    Too old to tramp the track
    Mem’ries of days that were golden
    Will seem to beckon you back
