|
From Townsville to Greenvale we're building a line |
|
Through the ranges and the gorges and the great nickel mine |
|
The long days are dusty and hotter than hell |
|
And that's why we all worship Three Rivers Hotel |
|
There's Thiess Brothers camp on the banks of the Star |
|
Where men from all nations and walks of life are |
|
And it's funny to listen to the stories they tell |
|
Every night 'round the bar at Three Rivers Hotel |
|
And we curse at the things that go wrong through the day |
|
And vow that we'll snatch it, and go far away |
|
But when day is done and we're soon feeling well |
|
The laughter rings out from Three Rivers Hotel |
|
And the night after payday there's fun and romance |
|
It's a night for the fam'lies to sing and to dance |
|
You can let down your hair and come out of your shell |
|
You can do your own thing in Three Rivers Hotel |
|
And if you listen to the bosses when the night's gettin' late |
|
On the progress they're makin' the best in the state |
|
They'd be finished this line and the maintenance as well |
|
If they worked like they bragged in Three Rivers Hotel |
|
All together now |
|
From Townsville to Greenvale we're building a line |
|
Through the ranges and the gorges and the great nickel mine |
|
The long days are dusty and hotter than hell |
|
And that's why we all worship Three Rivers Hotel |
|
Oh the long days are dusty and hotter than hell |
|
And that's why we all worship Three Rivers Hotel |
