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,
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.

[Instrumental]
I always dreamed of travel from the time I was a boy,
Played this old guitar and lived 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.

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.

[Instrumental]

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.
