Where the blue gums are growing And the Murrumbidgee's flowing Beneath the sunny sky, Where my daddy and mother are waiting for me And the pals of my childhood once more I will see. Then no more will I roam when I'm heading right for home Along the road to Gundagai.[2]}} References1. ^National Film and Sound Archive: Along the Road to Gundagai on australianscreen online [3][4][5][6][7][8]2. ^Peter Dawson's 1924 recording for His Master's Voice 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url = http://www.brightoncemetery.com/HistoricInterments/150Names/ohaganj.htm|title = John Francis 'Jack' O'Hagan (1898-1987) Song Composer | work = 150 years: 150 lives (Brighton General Cemetery)| publisher = Travis M Sellers |date = 15 September 2007 | accessdate = 10 June 2010}} 4. ^1 {{cite web | url = http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/1320991 | title = Along the road to Gundagai [music] / Jack O'Hagan ; arr.
