Lennie Gwyther and Ginger Mick
Set off from Leongatha for the Sydney harbour bridge
Lennie Gwyther and his horse Ginger Mick
He was only nine years old. they Road a thousand clicks
They breed them tough in south Gippsland

You see his dad the captain
Had a terrible accident on the farm and his little boy took up the slack.
And he did what he could with what he had

When his dad returned he was amazed
He said Son you made me proud
What does your heart most want in the world
Lennie said Dad, I want to see the biggest single span bridge in the world
The Captain said alright let's, let's make your dream happen

Lennie Gwyther and his horse Ginger Mick
Set off for the journey to the Sydney harbour bridge
Lennie Gwyther and Ginger Mick
Set off for the journey to the Sydney harbour bridge
Young folk dream big in south Gippsland

He road a thousand kilometres
Through bushfire and scrub
He knew how to work a hard day
He knew how to face discouragement
He knew how to keep going
He knew how to keep his chin up
Some of these things you don't learn any better with age

Lennie Gwyther and his horse Ginger Mick
Set off for the journey to the Sydney harbour bridge
Lennie Gwyther and Ginger Mick
Set off for the journey to the Sydney harbour bridge
The Sydney harbour bridge

It was the great depression
And his antics thrilled the land
Even the Prime Minister in Canberra wanted to shake his hand
Even the great Don Bradman wanted to meet the lad
Lennie and Ginger Mick featured prominently in the Sydney bridge parade

Lennie Gwyther and his horse Ginger Mick
Set off for the return journey of a thousand clicks
Lennie Gwyther and Ginger Mick
Set off for the journey from the Sydney harbour bridge
The Sydney harbour bridge

Lennie's just faded away from our memories
I think he fought a war
Ginger Mick died aged 27 and was buried on that farm
Lennie worked for General Motors Holden all his working life
He dreamed of building a yacht and sailing across Bass Strait
But in '92 he died

Lennie Gwyther and his horse Ginger Mick
Were both born in Leongatha the year 1922
Lennie Gwyther and Ginger Mick
An old man's dreams Sometimes die
But a young boy's dreams, sometimes come true

Lennie Gwyther and his horse Ginger Mick
Set off for the journey to the Sydney harbour bridge
Lennie Gwyther and Ginger Mick
Set off for the journey to the Sydney harbour bridge
The Sydney harbour bridge
The Sydney harbour bridge
