| [00:56.260] |
Well it's hotter 'n blazes |
| [00:58.900] |
|
| [00:59.500] |
And all the long faces |
| [01:01.800] |
|
| [01:05.130] |
There'll be no oasis |
| [01:09.300] |
For a dry local grazier |
| [01:11.300] |
|
| [01:14.320] |
There'll be no refreshment |
| [01:17.510] |
For a thirsty jackaroo |
| [01:22.939] |
From Melbourne to Adelaide |
| [01:25.220] |
|
| [01:26.840] |
On the overlander |
| [01:30.340] |
|
| [01:32.340] |
With newfangled buffet cars |
| [01:34.30] |
|
| [01:35.670] |
And faster locomotives |
| [01:40.900] |
|
| [01:41.230] |
The train stopped |
| [01:43.540] |
In serviceton |
| [01:45.110] |
Less and less often |
| [01:47.700] |
|
| [01:50.400] |
There's nothing sadder |
| [01:51.840] |
|
| [01:53.840] |
Than a town with no cheer |
| [01:59.100] |
|
| [02:02.260] |
Voc rail decided the canteen |
| [02:05.830] |
Was no longer necessary there |
| [02:09.899] |
|
| [02:09.949] |
No spirits |
| [02:11.390] |
No bilgewater |
| [02:13.279] |
And 80 dry locals |
| [02:16.489] |
|
| [02:19.170] |
And the high noon sun |
| [02:23.299] |
Beats a hundred and four |
| [02:24.349] |
|
| [02:27.920] |
There's a hummingbird |
| [02:28.989] |
Trapped in a closed |
| [02:33.239] |
Down shoe store |
| [02:36.349] |
|
| [02:44.239] |
This tiny victorian rhubarb |
| [02:46.670] |
|
| [02:48.100] |
Kept the watering hole open |
| [02:50.539] |
For sixty five years |
| [02:50.589] |
|
| [02:52.170] |
|
| [03:00.799] |
Now it's boilin' |
| [03:03.299] |
In a miserable march 21 st |
| [03:07.299] |
|
| [03:08.859] |
Wrapped the hills in a blanket |
| [03:12.999] |
Of patterson's curse |
| [03:19.299] |
The train smokes |
| [03:19.820] |
Down the xylophone |
| [03:21.829] |
There'll be no stopping here |
| [03:23.890] |
|
| [03:28.190] |
All ya can be is thirsty |
| [03:30.379] |
|
| [03:31.59] |
n a town with no cheer |
| [03:32.629] |
|
| [03:36.320] |
No bourbon, no branchwater |
| [03:38.120] |
|
| [03:39.809] |
Though the townspeople here |
| [03:41.219] |
|
| [03:43.499] |
Fought her vic rail |
| [03:45.29] |
Decree tooth and nail |
| [03:47.109] |
|
| [03:53.100] |
Now it's boilin' |
| [03:54.49] |
In a miserable march 21 st |
| [03:57.599] |
|
| [03:59.920] |
Wrapped the hills |
| [04:01.170] |
In a blanket of patterson's curse |
| [04:02.839] |
|
| [04:09.39] |
The train smokes |
| [04:10.289] |
Down the xylophone |
| [04:12.349] |
There'll be no stopping here |
| [04:14.700] |
|
| [04:17.988] |
All ya can be is thirsty |
| [04:20.48] |
|
| [04:21.178] |
In a town with no cheer |
