C                       C7 
I was born in McMasters Ward 
        F               C 
A little tent with an old dirt floor 
        C                       C7 
3 weeks old, just born just named 
                F                       C 
Well I went home across the black soil plains 
 

 
        C               C7 
On the banks of the Mehi River 
                F               C 
Thats where our people went to deliver 
        C               C7 
A gravel road from Moree town 
                F 
Thats where they waited 
                        C 
Till their time came around 
 

 
                F       Am 
Just like that river Im rolling on 
                G       F       Am 
Just like that river I go on and on 
                F               Am 
Just like that river Im rolling on 
                G       F       C 
Just like that river I go on and on

I left home at 17 
        F                       C 
Tamworth bright lights calling me 
        C       C7 
If I travel near or far 
                F                       C 
Still find my way home, by that old North Star 
        G       F               C 
Buluunarbi and that old North Star 
 

 
                F               Am 
Just like that river I up and went 
                G       F       Am 
Just like that river Im still not spent 
                F               Am 
Just like that river Im rolling on 
                G       F       C 
Just like that river I go on and on 
                G       F       C 
Just like that river I go on and on
