Three Rivers Hotel
From Townsville to Greenvale we're building a lineThrough the ranges and the gorges and the great nickel mineThe long days are dusty and hotter than hellAnd that's why we all worship Three Rivers HotelThere's Thiess Brothers camp on the banks of the StarWhere men from all nations and walks of life areAnd it's funny to listen to the stories they tellEvery night 'round the bar at Three Rivers HotelAnd we curse at the things that go wrong through the dayAnd vow that we'll snatch it, and go far awayBut when day is done and we're soon feeling wellThe laughter rings out from Three Rivers HotelAnd the night after payday there's fun and romanceIt's a night for the fam'lies to sing and to danceYou can let down your hair and come out of your shellYou can do your own thing in Three Rivers HotelAnd if you listen to the bosses when the night's gettin'lateOn the progress they're makin' the best in the stateThey'd be finished this line and the maintenance as wellIf they worked like they bragged in Three Rivers HotelAll together nowFrom Townsville to Greenvale we're building a lineThrough the ranges and the gorges and the great nickel mineThe long days are dusty and hotter than hellAnd that's why we all worship Three Rivers HotelOh the long days are dusty and hotter than hellAnd that's why we all worship Three Rivers Hotel
