Damien will perform "Tenterfield Saddler" by Peter Allen, as part of the Australia Day Live Concert on 25/1/07Lyrics:Late George Woolno
Worked on high street
Lived on manners
Fifty-two years he sat on his verranda
Made his saddles
And if u had questions about sheep
Or flowers or dawn
You just asked the saddler
He lived without sin
They're building a library for him
Time is a traveller
Tenterfield saddler
Turn your head
Right again jackaroo
Think i see kangaroo up ahead
Son of George Woolno
Went off and got married
And had a war baby
Something was wrong
And it's easier to drink than go crazy
If there were questions about
Why the end was so sad
George had no answers about why a son
Ever had need of a gun
Time is a traveller
Tenterfield saddler
Turn your head
Right again jackaroo
Think I see kangaroo up ahead
Grandson of George has been all around the world
And lives no special place
He changed his last name
And he married a girl
With an interesting face
He'd almost forgotten them both
Because in the life that he leads
There's nowhere for George and his library, or the son with his gun
To belong
Except in this song
Time is a traveller
Tenterfield saddler
Turn your head
Right again jackaroo
Think I see kangaroo up ahead
Time is a meddler
Tenterfield saddler
Make a bet
Fly away cockatoo
Down on the ground
Emu up ahead
Time is a tale teller
Tenterfiled saddler
Turn your head
Right again jackaroo
Think i see kangaroo up ahead
Time is a tale teller
Tenterfield saddler
Make a bet
Fly away cockatoo
Down on the ground up ahead

It will be interesting to hear it sung with an Irish accent, although one I don't mind listening to.

Dede, you said in the Hut the other night that he was singing three songs. Is that right, and if so, do you know what else he is singing?

This same guy also does a version of Hallelujah and there is just no comparison to Damien's rendition of the song. I think Damien will deliver Tenterfield Saddler with the feeling and emotion it deserves. Gawd I can't wait!  |

Damien has successfully taken on Roy Orbison, Puccini, Jeff Buckley, Ben Harper and Alex Lloyd(to name a few). I know he'll do great things with this Peter Allen classic, and what an appropriate choice for the Australia Day concert.  |

I love this song - one of my all time favourite Aussie songs!
What a fabulous choice for Damien to sing!
I've been to the Tenterfield Saddlers Shop in Tenterfield (of course) - love the history!
