Down in the valley, the valley so low,
Lay the town over and hear the winds blow,
Lay the town over and dig it all in,
For what we once had will not come again.
The people are crying, the people are down,
They look at the crevice where once lived a town,
And it's not for the money, they cry not for the blame
They just cry for a ghost town, such a great shame.
Take six politicians and dig me a grave
Take six intellectuals, my soul try to save
And six union workers, a red flag to wave
And one stupid singer to rant and to rave...
Now Old King Coal was a merry old soul
Such a merry old soul was he,
Cause he fed my dad, he fed my mum,
He fed us children three.
And I remember Old Coach Road,
And the pine trees by its side
And I remember the playground there,
And every swing and slide.
It's goodbye to you my old grey friend
Soon your days are at an end
They'll dig you up, tear you down,
Goodbye to you - Industrial Town.
In the morning when the sun came up
On commission housing, there,
We could feel the ash from the mine sometimes
Come floating through the air.
But times were good and we didn't mind
About the chimneys and their mess.
Oh no, three meals a day, a sleep at night,
We couldn't have cared less.
It's goodbye to you my old grey friend
Soon your days are at an end
They'll dig you up, tear you down,
Goodbye to you - Industrial Town.
Time moved on, we moved away
How a young child soon forgets,
Twelve years later I returned,
And I see with regret
Empty houses, empty streets,
Not a single soul to meet,
Sold right out, damned on whim,
Sing this chorus, sing this hymn.
Goodbye to you my old grey friend
Soon your days are

  • A Tale They Wont Believe
    "We left Macquarie Harbour it was in the pouring rain
    none of us quite sure if we would see England again
    some fool muttered death or liberty
    there was six of us together a jolly hungry crew..."
  • Big River
    "You've never mentioned this before
    It seems I'm always the last to know
    And do I have to guess how you're going to feel each day
    You never have a word to say..."
  • Brunswick
    "He came up from the country looking for a job of work,
    He came from a town that died a slow hard death,
    And when the train pulled into Spencer Street, he was fast asleep.
    He opened one eye and he took a long deep breath...."
  • For A Short Time
    "Sometimes you can say more, in a drunken hour or so
    Than some people get across, in a life of lying low.
    And sometimes you can feel more, for someone you've barley kissed,
    but you don't see it at the time, and the moment that you've missed...."
  • Gun
    "Sometimes you can say more, in a drunken hour or so
    Than some people get across, in a life of lying low.
    And sometimes you can feel more, for someone you've barley kissed,
    but you don't see it at the time, and the moment that you've missed...."
  • Industrial Town
    "A bunch of withered roses lie, a faded silhouette
    Caught you jumpin' in the deep end last night, but it hasn't happened yet.
    They're tying up your body with some rusty Number 8 and they say,
    Too early with your run, son...."
  • Missing in Action
    "Laughing Boy is drowned,
    Sailed across the sea.
    Whisky was his daily bread,
    His like we'll never see, again...."
  • Morton (song For Tex)
    "He stopped to change a tyre out near Warnambool,
    His Chevy it was all over the road.
    He pulled into town sometime in the early afternoon,
    More than a normal travelling salesman, the guitar his only load...."
