Not the same song, I know, but possibly worth having.

From the State Library of Victoria (Click for a PDF file of the sheet music.)


"The Advertiser Hiking Song"
THE ROAD TO ANYWHERE
By Reg Stoneham
Adelaide: Advertiser Office, [19--?]

1. When you're feeling sad and blue,
And you don't know what to do
Ev'ry one should be like me
Strap a pack uon your back,
Then get out up on the track,
Where the road is wide and free
Take a crack at the track with a sack and a pack on your back.

CHORUS: Go rolling along the road that leads to anywhere,
Yes, anywhere will do
There something forever calling me 'way over there
To where the skies are blue
I rest 'neath a shady tree, by a waterfall
A pack on my back, an open track and then just like a ball,
Go rolling along the road that leads to anywhere,
The road to anywhere at all.

2. You are happy all the while,
There's a smile in ev'ry mile
And you never count the hours
When the sun is in the west,
Then you settle down to rest
With the birds and trees and flow'rs
Take a crack at the track with a sack and a pack on your back.
