Slim Dusty
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
We curse at the things that go wrong through the day
2
And vow that we'll snatch it, go far away
3
But when day is done and we're soon feeling well
4
And laughter rings out from Three Rivers Hotel
5
There's Wesley the barman and young Irish Joe
6
Serving the booze and collecting the dough
7
What a stir they would cause if they ever should tell
8
All the secrets they've learned in Three Rivers Hotel
9
On the night after payday there's fun and romance
10
It's a night for the fam'lies to sing and to dance
11
You can let down your hair and come out of your shell
12
And do your own thing in Three Rivers Hotel
13
And if you listen to the bosses when the night's gettin' late
14
On the progress they're makin' the best in the state
15
They'd be finished this line and this maint'nance as well
16
If they worked like they bragged in Three Rivers Hotel
17
And if you think you can drink we've got money to back
18
On stayers like Cass and old grader Jack
19
And they tell me old Coster gives everyone hell
20
When he gets on the booze in three Rivers Hotel
21
(Spoken)
22
Yeah, he's a whopper
23
When this job is finished we'll pack up and go
24
To another construction still chasing big dough
25
But wherever I wander my memory will dwell
26
On those happy days in Three Rivers Hotel
