Verse 1
Bb
F
we're building a line
Through the ranges and gorges
Bb
F
to the Great Nickel Mine
The long days are dusty and
It's Thief Brothers Camp
Bb
F
on the banks of the Stier
We're men from all nations
We curse at the things
Bb
F
that go wrong through the day
We vow that we'll snatch it
F
C
F
from Free River's Hotel
There's Wesley the barman
Bb
F
and young Irish Joe
Serving the booze and
Bb
F
collecting the dough
What a stir they would cause
And on the night after payday
Bb
F
there's fun and romance
It's a time for the families
Bb
F
to sing and to dance
You can let down your hair
And if you listen to the bosses
Bb
F
when the night's getting late
The progress they're making
Bb
F
is the best in the state
They'd be finished this line
F
C
F
in Three Rivers Hotel
And if you think you can drink,
Bb
F
we've got money to back
On stayers like Cass and
Bb
F
old Grady Jack
And they tell me Doc Watson
When this job is finished,
Bb
F
still chasing big dough
But wherever I wander,
F
D
Rivers Hotel
C
G
to the great nickel mine.
D

The long days are dusty and
I said the long days are dusty

Three Rivers Hotel.
