Verse 1
E
B
we're building a line
Through the ranges and gorges
E
B
to the Great Nickel Mine
The long days are dusty and
It's Thief Brothers Camp
E
B
on the banks of the Stier
We're men from all nations
We curse at the things
E
B
that go wrong through the day
We vow that we'll snatch it

B
from Free River's Hotel
There's Wesley the barman
E
B
and young Irish Joe
Serving the booze and
E
B
collecting the dough
What a stir they would cause
And on the night after payday
E
B
there's fun and romance
It's a time for the families
E
B
to sing and to dance
You can let down your hair
And if you listen to the bosses
E
B
when the night's getting late
The progress they're making
E
B
is the best in the state
They'd be finished this line
B
F#
B
in Three Rivers Hotel
And if you think you can drink,
E
B
we've got money to back
On stayers like Cass and
E
B
old Grady Jack
And they tell me Doc Watson
When this job is finished,
E
B
still chasing big dough
But wherever I wander,
