I'm goin' back to Queensland Where the wavin' wheat fields grow A land of beautiful sunshine That's where I long to go It was there that I spent my childhood In the woods, where I love to roam Way up in sunny Queensland That will always be my home It's a land of sleepin' rivers Of wide and roamin' plains Where the bushman's call is "ku-wee!" Sends music through my veins It's a land of reachin' gumtrees Where nature wants love to dwell Way up in sunny Queensland The place I love so well You can see the bullock wagons Rolling down the beaten track And the old son Downer With his swag upon his back You can see the golden wattle And the fields of wavin' corn Way up in sunny Queensland That's the place where I was born
