Lyrics You Take Her from Narrandera - Slim Dusty

Those are the lights of Wyalong, mate, and It's early in the night
We'll make Tocumwal by 2 o'clock, we'll be on time alright
They checked our books at Narrabri while you slept in the bunk
And the road-tax men at Forbes, mate, seemed like they were drunk

They blinded me with headlights, we almost left the road
The scales were back near Dubbo, but they didn't check our load
They're weighing too near Kilmore, but our big rig's lookin' light
If that bloke's asleep at Seymour, we'll be on time alright

(Instrumental)

We'll change down near Narrandera, and you can take the wheel
Oh it's raining up ahead mate, oh those blankets I can feel
I checked our wheel's and tires and the chains are nice and tight
Our wagon's going well mate! Oh we're making time tonight

And daylight's not far off now, the centre line shines bright
And we'll eat down at Numurkah, we'll be on time alright
And our women will be waitin', like all truck women wait
Here's the truck stop at Narrandera! Come on, you can take her mate

(Instrumental)

We'll change down near Narrandera, and you can take the wheel
Oh it's raining up ahead mate, oh those blankets I can feel
And our women will be waitin', like all truck women wait
Here's the truck stop at Narrandera! Come on, you can take her mate

(Come on mate, time for you to move over I think
Give me a bit of a go, try get some shut-eye)
