Slim Dusty - Sassafras Gap lyrics

Your rating:

My daddy was a timber cutter,
That's how how he earned his bread and butter
Home was nothin' but a weatherbeaten timber shack
The tin roof leaked a little and the chimney leaned a 
lot
But it kept out the snow and the rain up at Sassafras 
Gap

My mother was a great big lady
With a heart just as big as a tree
Daddy Jack cut down the forest by the timber track
But she taught us all our lessons
Taught us how to read and write
And she'd tuck us into bed every night up at Sassafras 
Gap

Saturday night was the best time of all
We'd all get together and have us a ball
We'd pick a little music
Drink a lot of homemade wine

Us kids could hardly wait for summer,
Divin' in the water off the bridge up by Thompson's 
shack
Well my Mum used to say I was lazy
Opposite of just plain crazy
And it was good to be alive and livin' up at Sassafras 
Gap

[Instrumental]

Saturday night was the best time of all,
We'd all get together and have us a ball
We'd pick a little music
Drink a lot of homemade wine

Us kids could hardly wait for summer,
So we could go swimmin' in the river,
Divin' in the water off the bridge up by Thompson's 
shack
Well now, my Mum used to say I was lazy
Opposite of just plain crazy
And it was good to be alive and livin' up at Sassafras 
Gap
And it was good to be alive and livin' up at Sassafras 
Gap.
