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
