Along the road to Gundagai

Along the Road to Gundagai is an iconic Australian song first published in 1922, and sold over 100,000 copies in that first year. It also became a very popular World War II song.

As a kid in the 1950s I remember listening to the Dad and Dave radio show which had the song as it’s theme song.

Gundagai is a town located along the Murrumbidgee River 390 km south-west of Sydney, NSW on the Hume Highway on the way to Melboune.

music and lyricsby Jack O'Hagan

There's a track winding back
To an old-fashioned shack
Along the road to Gundagai –
Where the blue gums are growing
And the Murrumbidgee's flowing
Beneath that sunny sky –
Where my daddy and mother
Are waiting for me
And the pals of my childhood
Once more I will see.
Then no more will I roam,
When I'm heading right for home
Along the road to Gundagai.
