Wagon trains were movin' back in 1835

Rollin' out across the overland

Movin' up the country through the timber and the bush

Opening up the state we know as Queensland



The virgin bush resounded to the rumble of the gear

And voices of the men who moved them on

Across the rugged mountains to the valleys far below

Wagon wheels were ever rollin' o-on



Hey there keep those wagons rollin'

Into the north we're goin'

Make up your mind and come along, boy

Across the swolen rivers to the ranges far beyond

Wagon wheels were ever rollin' o-on

A-rollin' on, rollin' o-on



Yes, the wagon trains were movin' back in 1835

Rollin' out across the overland

Movin' up the country through the timber and the bush

Opening up the state we know as Queensland



They were pioneering fam'lies that made up the wagon trains

Branching out across the tablelands

Opening up new homesteads where the wagon wheels had been

Far into the northern timberla-ands



Hey there keep those wagons rollin'

Into the north we're goin'

Make up your mind and come along, boy

Across the swolen rivers to the ranges far beyond

Wagon wheels were ever rollin' o-on

A-rollin' on, yeah, rollin' o-on

A-rollin' on, rollin' o-on [fade]
