Shopping on a Saturday – Gary Shearston
Intro: D
VERSE 1
G D
Shopping on a Saturday in 1945,
A
Going in to Tenterfield, a two mile buggy ride,
D G D
Grandma, mum and grandfather, he did all the driving,
G D A D
Me perched up beside him, old dog alongside.
CHORUS
G D G D
Go Ted let the pony have a head now,
G D A D
We'll fly along Casino Road.
G D G D
Hey Ted, remember what you told me,
G D A D
Easy, whips don't lighten load.
VERSE 2
G D
Pull up at Hopsing & Co, Store and General Merchants,
A
Grandad heads inside to buy some seed and bailing wire.
D G D
Twelve gauge shotgun cartridges, saltlick for the bayron,
G D A D
Ice cream for the half grown young man at his side.
G D
Then on to Kinipin Son Leathergoods and Saddles,
A
Topics for discussion there are weather, beasts and fires.
D G D
They've repaired the bridle that busted on a gum tree,
G D A D
When my pony through me, tried to jump barbed wire.
G D G D
On we go to Royal Hotel tucker, grog shop talking,
A
Neighbour farmers say g'day, exchange the harvest news.
D G D
Season come and season go, life remains a battle,
G D A D
Drovers talk of cattle, rocky river ewes.
CHORUS
G D G D
Go Ted let the pony have a head now,
G D A D
We'll fly along Casino Road.
G D G D
Hey Ted, remember what you told me,
G D A D
Easy, whips don't lighten load.
VERSE 3
G D
Stretched along the homeward track, tigersnake sunbaking,
A
Granddad hits the brake to try and kill it with a slide.
D G D
Just missed – look out! Now the thing is tangled in the back spokes,
G D A D
Blimey this is no joke, everybody fly.
G D
Buggy stands abandoned ship, grandma holds the pony,
A
We all watch with baited breath as granddad kneels a stride,
D G D
The back seat of his Cadillac, aiming for the right spot,
G D A D
Slowly squeezes one shot, all that is required.
G D
Clamber back on board again, set off at a fast trot,
A
Granddad takes some flack about the nature of his slide,
D G D
Hears it out good-humouredly, hard to raise his hackles,
G D A D
Winks at me and cackles, don't know till you've tried.
CHORUS
G D G D
Go Ted let the pony have a head now,
G D A D
We'll fly along Casino Road.
G D G D
Hey Ted, remember what you told me,
G D A D
Easy, whips don't lighten load.
VERSE 4
G D
There's the farm up on the hill, shining like a beacon,
A
Soon we're home unloaded and the gear is stashed away.
D G D
Supper time by lantern light, then round the piano,
G D A D
Family in tableau, sing to end the day.
G D
Mountain bush and southern sky still the same as ever,
A
Graves upon the hillside mark the time that's passed away.
D G D
Now I come to think of it memory has no curtain,
G D A D
Life was lived for certain, old and in the way.
CHORUS
G D G D
Go Ted let the pony have a head now,
G D A D
We'll fly along Casino Road.
G D G D
Hey Ted, remember what you told me,
G D A D
Easy, whips don't lighten load.
