From Townsville to Grainville
Through the ranges and the gorges
The long days are dusty and
That's all why we all worship
Well, it's Beach Brothers
camp on the banks of the star
With men from all nations
And it's funny to listen to
Every night round the bar
that go wrong through the day
Ain't about if we'll snatch
and we're soon feeling well
Well, there's Wesley the barman
What a stir they would cause
All the secrets they've learned
And if you listen to the bosses
when the night's getting late
On the progress they're making,
They'd be finished this line
and the maintenance as well
If they worked like they bragged
And if you think you can drink,
On stairs like Cass and old Greater Jack
When this job is finished,
On those happy days in Three
Through the ranges and the gorges
Well the long days are dusty
And that's why we all worship
Well the long days are dusty
And that's why we all worship
