Three Rivers Hotel Lyrics

Three Rivers Hotel lyrics

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
