I'm an easy goin' drifter, well the ladies tell me so,
And often I'm out strolling with Sadie, Lily or Flo.
I asked Lil once to marry, but she just shook her head,
I asked her for her reasons and this to me she said.
You're an easy goin' drifter, gotta a guitar' picking style,
But I don't think you'd be faithful cause, you'd only stay a while,
So I jumped in the old ranch wagon, that's painted silver-grey,
but I'm an easy goin' drifter, from way up Queensland way.
So if you're ever up in Queensland, you'll sure to hear of me,
You'll find me travellin' with my show in that locality,
I sing a country love song, an' see ol' biddies sway,
For I'm an easy goin' drifter, from way up Queensland way.
I always dreamed of travel, from the time I was a boy,
Played this old guitar and live a drifter's life of joy,
I left my home folks standin' there by the homestead door,
I've had my share of travel now a million miles or more.
Oh I'm an easy goin' drifter that's fairly plain to see,
I'm here today and gone tomorrow if I wish to be,
If I had my life all over I'd take the same highway,
For I'm an easy goin' drifter from way up Queensland way.
I'm an easy goin' drifter that's fairly plain to see,
I'm here today and gone tomorrow if I wish to be,
If I had my life all over I'd take the same highway,
For I'm an easy goin' drifter from way up Queensland way.
From way up Queensland Way
