OPAL MINER - THE SONGS OF BILL SCOTT
OUTBACK CAFE
From MOON CALLER - PENNY DAVIES & ROGER ILOTT (RM138CD)
We sailed out from Southampton one bitter winter's day,
Up and down the bumpy waves of stormy Biscay Bay ,
I walked the decks with rosy cheeks in freezing rain and blow
My family feeling seasick in the cabin down below.
Chorus: Aurelia, Aurelia, sailing to Australia ,
Sailing to Australia - halfway across the world .
We travelled ever southwards & we came to calmer seas,
Watched the washing drying in the Mediterranean breeze,
Standing by the rail all day, I drank in what I saw -
I'd never seen a sea so blue, or any foreign shore.
A brilliant Port Said sunset, a palm tree silhouette,
Suez and then Aden a long way to go yet.
Next the Indian Ocean old salts now on the foam
Crossing the equator, Christmas far from home.
Chorus
6 weeks at sea, long days of sun and nights of alien stars,
The scent of eucalyptus, blue smoke seen from afar,
I loved our ship, I loved the sea, but now our trip was done,
And as Aurelia sailed away
a new life had begun.
Chorus

GOODBYE TO YOUR SCHOOLDAYS
It doesn't seem so long ago that you were just a child.
You've made us laugh, you've made us cry, but mostly made us smile.
You changed our lives, you filled our days, you've questioned how and why,
your schooldays done, the time has flown, it's time for you to fly.
Chorus: It's all the highs & lows you've surfed that make this moment sweet,
It's goodbye to your schooldays - tThe world is at your feet.
We've walked with you and carried you up hills that were too steep,
We played and played the whole day through - then put you off to sleep.
We read you books, we sang you songs, we watched for shooting stars,
We helped you with your homework - now we let you drive the car.
Ch:
We've walked the road along with you, our daughters and our sons,
And as you take this giant step we're proud of what you've done.
Ch:

TURN THE WORLD AROUND
Dozers roar in shanty towns - Homes and dreams come crashing down. Bombs in cars could be your town.
Turn the world around.
Kids in camps in the desert sun Wondering what on earth they've done. Wars are fought that can't be won -
Turn the world around.
Chorus: Turn, turn, turn again! Turn the world around again.
Turn, turn, turn again! Turn the world around.
Refugees out on the sea People just like you and me. All they want is to be free -
Turn the world around.
Some send ships out into space. Some would end the human race. Before we sink without a trace -
Turn the world around.
Chorus
Greedy men, world trading deals - Hunting whales and clubbing seals - Furry coats and gourmet meals.
Turn the world around.
Checkpoints and dividing walls, Motors run and forests fall - This tiny world sustains us all.
Turn the whole world round.
Chorus
Change is now it just can't wait - It's time for love, and not for hate. Time for peace it's not too late.
Turn the world around.

Chorus: They built me up, they broke me down,
I'm Werris Creek, the railway town,
They broke me down, but I came back,
And better days are down the track.
1. A railway camp beside the creek, growing quickly week by week,
Laying rails and sleepers down, soon became a railway town.
2. Warragundi looms above a little town her people love,
A station built in '79, the jewel of the northern line .
Ch
3. Tracks branched out on every side, her station was a place of pride,
Railway families flourished here in the train of passing years
4. Now people flock to ride the rails, hear railway workers tell their tales
Of days when railways crossed the land and people worked with heart and hand .
Ch
5. Let sense and sanity prevail to bring again the days of rail,
So towns who've seen the railways go, like Werris Creek will live and grow.

RUSTY DUSTY DAYS (Like Byrds We Flew)
It was 1975 though it seems like yesterday -
Playing at French's Tavern, and on 2 Double J,
We were like brothers - working in a band,
Driving all round Sydney in our Kombi vans.
Laying down tracks at Albert's and the ABC,
The Limerick Castle soon became our scene.
We had vision, we had dreams,
The world was ours, or so it seemed.
Chorus:
Who was right who was wrong? Some heard the sound, some heard the song.
Like Byrds we flew, thought we were strong, Who was right who was wrong?
Folk, rock and country we made em all our sound,
Rusty Dusty Brothers were the talk of the town.
We made the news in Rolling Stone,
Thought that we could make it all on our own.
But times were changing for some of us too slow.
Who could decide the best way to go?
Some wanted to fly, some wanted fame,
Some just played the music, some played the game.
Chorus
It was 1977 though it seems like yesterday.
Somehow the years have flown away.
The band broke up, we all moved on,
The sound had changed - so had the song.

BIG WATER
Chorus: Away, away, down the river for me -
Set me adrift on the Murrumbidgee.
Away, away, down the river for me -
Set me adrift on the Murrumbidgee .
The Severn is flooding, the Todd is bone dry, the Murray 's great tears tickle saltily by.
The Mitchell flows swiftly round Billy Goat Bend, bBut on the Big Water your troubles will end.
Chorus:
Burke River is sandy, the Burdekin's deep, a boat on the Darling will rock you to sleep.
The Thompson at dawn wears her mist like a veil, but on the Big Water your heart will set sail.
Chorus:
Sweet Mary is muddy, she flows through the cane, the Hawkesbury River is spangled with rain,
The Snowy is cold with the thaw in the spring, but on the Big Water your spirit will sing!
Chorus:

The northern storms are bountiful for Nature's brimming cup
When Huey sends the rain drops down, the Cooper laps it up.
The landscape has a shining face so celebrate the scene -
The kangaroos are spotless, the goannas nice and clean.
Chorus : The Cooper's coming down, the Cooper's coming down,
The pelicans will muster when the Cooper's coming down.
I grow a little weary of the city's frantic theme,
And I feel a sudden yearning for a river reach's gleam.
I will pack my swag and hasten from this petrol-fuming town
And go dancing with the brolgas when the Cooper's coming down.
Chorus : The Cooper's coming down, the Cooper's coming down,
I'll go dancing with the brolgas when the Cooper's coming down.

LISTEN TO THE WIND
The wind comes up in the restless bay - Listen to the wind.
It blows the beach umbrellas away - Listen to the wind.
It blusters, swirls and whirls and beats, tosses the hair on the heads it meets,
Drives the folk from the seafront seats - Listen to the wind.
There's a spit of rain and a splash of spray - Listen to the wind.
The windows mist at the takeaway - Listen to the wind.
The sand swirls up in a cloud of grit, and dims the signs that are neon lit;
The dogs go home and the seagulls sit - Listen to the wind.
The jetty moves with a shudder and shake - Listen to the wind.
It's then you know the sea's awake - Listen to the wind.
The waves all wear their whitest caps, and break in watery thunderclaps,
Old fishermen head for their armchair naps - Listen to the wind.
The night has clouds that smudge the stars - Listen to the wind.
It drowns the sound of the passing cars - Listen to the wind.
I'm glad I'm warm and safe and dry, because, they say, when the wind is high
The spirits of sailors moan and cry - Listen to the wind.

Great Grandad came with his family here - bought land at The Summit in the tin mining years,
With horse teams he travelled the rough stony track, seven days to Toowoomba and seven days back.
Grandad grew up and cleared the bush block, he pulled out the stumps and he blew up the rock,
With nectarines, apricots, temperate fruit, created an orchard where a family took root.
Now I'm pushing it down - the work of his hands; Pushing it down - the fruit of the land;
Pushing it down - it's not what he planned; Ah, I'm pushing it down.
When Grandad died Dad took on the farm, through many good seasons I was his right arm
But the weather was changing - it brought us to tears; Nineteen hailstorms in 23 years.
Now I'm pushing it down - the work of our hands; Pushing it down - the fruit of our land;
Pushing it down - it's not what we planned; Ah, I'm pushing it down.
The throb of the dozer, my hammering heart, the sound of the blade as it tears me apart;
Bad weather, bad prices and no subsidies - the only thing left is to bulldoze the trees.
My children don't need to carry this load. Why work as a farmer? It's a bloody hard road.
Before we go under, before we all drown, I'm cutting the ties and I'm pushing it down.
Now I'm pushing it down - the work of my hands; Pushing it down - the fruit of the land;
Pushing it down - it's not what I planned; Ah, I'm pushing it down.

Back to the sea again, Johnny, back to the sea-bitten piles,
With a spinning head and a guts like lead,
With a gin-soaked body and tangling tread,
Back where the water smiles Back to the sea again, Johnny.
Back to the sea again, Johnny, back to the coal-grimed tramp,
To the fo'c'sle foul with a sickened soul
To the Liverpool Irishman like a ghoul,
To the blankets thin and damp Back to the sea again, Johnny.
Back to the sea again, Johnny, back to the sickening swell,
(To scrape and chip to the lift and dip,
In the greasy bilge of a vagabond ship
Is a close approach to Hell.) Back to the sea again, Johnny .
Pay for your sins at sea, Johnny, pay for your sins afloat,
Hand and heave and reef and reeve,
Steer and serve and clear the sheave
When the halliard chokes the throat - Back to the sea again, Johnny.
Back to the beach again, Johnny, back to the booze ashore,
Where the swing-doors grin to lure you in
And you pass right out on poison gin
Then wake and drink some more - Then, back to the sea again, Johnny.

THE HILLS AND ROCKS OF HOME (Jordy's Song)
The granite rocks are silent in the blue grey haze of trees,
Wildflowers bloom and forests toss their branches on the breeze.
Summer shines on droughty hills when days are hot and dry,
Where ti-tree scented waters flow and flickering swallows fly.
The trees are ghostly shadows when the moon is on the wane,
They shimmer in the sunlight and they glisten in the rain.
The full moon shines her lantern over every rock and hill,
When winds have died at evening time and all the trees are still.
Chorus: The hills and rocks of home, warming in the sun,
Shining in the moonlight - they'll be there when I come.
The frosty air cuts sharp and cold in icy morning light,
Winter nights are velvet dark and galaxies are bright.
Seasons flow around the rocks and scarcely leave a trace,
And every rugged hill of home is like a loved-one's face.
Chorus:
The granite rocks are silent in the blue grey haze of trees,
Wildflowers bloom and forests toss their branches on the breeze,
Sunset's flaming colours and the rosy light of dawn
Still paint the hills and rocks of home the place where I was born.
Chorus:

The blowers of whistles, the man in the van,
Those who maintained tracks where ever trains ran;
The "refresh" girls, the shunters, station staff as well,
Porters on the platform who often rang a bell;
The station master who, in a manner most regal,
Surveys his domain with the eye of an eagle.
Signalmen pulling levers, "clunk", to make the road,
Or sounding "train arrival" in that curious bell code;
Train examiners 'neath the cars, adjusting the slack,
A job with much crawling - and it's hard on your back;
Those in the workshops and in loco sheds grimy,
Who kept the rolling stock running - be it old or new and shiny -
Chorus: There's a light on the line let it shine, let it shine.
The crossing keepers - men (and women too),
Who once tended the gates to let the trains through;
The linesmen whose job involved climbing a pole,
The god we crews all served - the man at "control";
Apologies to others that I may have forgotten
It's been a long time, and my memory's rotten,
But I'll never forget, deep down in my heart,
That in my young days, I once was a part
Of that great railway family, whose toil, hopes and fears
Kept Victoria 's railways running - one hundred and fifty years.

STAY ON SHORE
I will anchor one day - one shimmering day
Of heat haze, grey smoke and breeze,
And unburden myself of my treasures
Beneath the blue eucalypt trees.
The seas of my youth, the sapphires and shells,
I'll bury them there in the sand.
I'll keep a blue stone to remember them by
And I'll wear it upon my right hand.
Chorus: And all my sails I'll furl and stow
And I'll say goodbye to the crew,
And on the sea no more I'll go,
But stay on shore with you.
The islands and reefs and the tropical moon,
The jewels that I found on my way,
I'll scatter them all on my homecoming shore
For the waves to take as they may.

THE INJUNE RAILWAY
Chorus: 60 miles to Roma, it takes you half a day,
It took four years to build, but theyre closin' it today
Cattle, sheep, wool & timber, cream & pumpkins, people too,
For years the locos hauled the trains, at 20 miles an hour they flew!
Traveling with the season's produce - 9 bob is what you pay
Over five hours to Roma on the Injune Railway
Chorus
Out through Komine and Kooragan, stop at half a dozen gates
Fireman opens, guard'll close'em - every time the train just waits.
Slow across the timber bridges - Gum Gully's many spans.
60 miles of railway line, 4 years work for many hands.
Chorus
Over creeks and over gullies crossing roads and stations too
The track was laid by 1920 - 300 in the crew.
Up and down the track from Roma with freight of different kinds
The steam trains ran on the Injune branch line.
Chorus
New Year's Eve, '66, as the last train pulls away.
Nearly 50 years they ran - therell be no train on New Year's Day.
Goodbye Minka, Ona Ona,
Alicker and Yingerbay,
Goodbye Kingull, Blue Lagoon - goodbye Injune railway.

WHERE
THE CANE FIRES BURN
I've wandered east, I've wandered west,
From the Hamersley Range to the Snowy Crest,
From the Lachlan Plains to the Broken Hill,
But my heart's at the Johnstone River still.
Now the time has come when I must return
Where the vine scrub grows and the cane fires burn.
Where the vine scrub grows and the cane fires burn.
By the Yarra now the cold rain falls
And the wind is bleak from the Bass Strait squalls,
I stand and wonder in the chill
Has the season started at Mulgrave Mill?
For Autumn comes and I must return
Where the harvesters chug and the trash fires burn -
Where the harvesters chug and the trash fires burn.
The smog is thick and stings the eye
Where the Harbour Bridge fills half the sky
And the sirens wail through Sydney town....
But I dream of Tully when the sun goes down
Where the rainforest covers the hills with green
The cane grows tall and the air is clean -
The cane grows tall and the air is clean.
I've been wandering South and West
On land and sea, but the north is best.
Now Autumn comes with its hint of snows
And I must follow where the egret goes
To watch the evening's first faint star
From Flying Fish Point or Yarrabah-
From Flying Fish Point or Yarrabah.

HEY
RAIN
CHORUS: Hey rain, rain comin' down
On the cane, on the roofs of the town.
There's rain on me hands and rain on me face,
Oh muddy old Innisfail's a muddy wet place,
Hey rain, hey rain.
And there's rain in me beer and rain in me grub,
And they've just fitted anchors to the Garradunga pub,
Hey rain, hey rain.
Chorus........
There's a Johnstone River crocodile
livin' in me frig'
And a bloody great tree on the Jubilee Bridge
Hey rain, hey rain.
And the monsoon sky has sprung a leak
From Flyin' Fish Point to the Millstream Creek,
Hey rain, hey rain.
Chorus.....
And the storm clouds are so black and big
Theres an old flyin' fox in the Moreton Bay fig,
Hey rain, hey rain
It's the worst wet season we've ever had,
And I'd swim down to Tully, but it's just as bloody bad
Hey rain, hey rain.

DON'T LET 'EM CLOSE OUR MILL
Chorus: Don't let 'em close the old mill down -
The sugar mill's the heart of town.
Don't let 'em close our mill.
Don't let 'em close our mill.
We burnt the fields, we cut by hand,
We came here from a hundred lands.
And now we cut with big machines
The cutter's gone the way of steam.
Up here among the ''Bundy snow'',
We've seen our town and families grow
Our kids are tall as sugar cane.
Old days are gone - but we remain.
Chorus
When they said the mill would close
The lifeblood of the town just froze.
Without the mill there'll be no cane,
We'll rust here in the northern rain.
Without the cane the banks will go,
The farms will die, the crows will crow.
The kids will leave or get the dole,
The place will lose its heart and soul
Chorus
We see the future with no mill,
Fields are empty, trains are still.
Don't want to see that day arrive,
We'll fight to keep our town alive.
Chorus

CALL IT FLAMIN' HOT
In sunny South Australia, it's rather warm outback,
Theyre swimming in mirages along the Birdsville Track.
Its the kind of summer climate that will leave a bloke dismayed,
Where even willy-willies will stay whirling in the shade.
Theres a sundowner sitting in a creek bed with a frown
He hopes the Diamantina will soon be coming down.
There are blistering goannas rubbing sunscreen on their claws,
While they say, at Oodnadatta, it is best to stay indoors.
CHORUS: They can quote their fine statistics, they seem to have a lot!
But Celsius or Fahrenheit - just call it flamin' hot!
The driest and the hottest state will win your thirsty votes,
And on the pub veranda, you will find the driest throats.
And the barman said he served this mob - it seemed the only course,
Four camels, half a dozen 'roos, the drover's dog and horse.
Chorus
I'm told the flocks of cockatoos beside the River Finke
Are loud with their entreaties of ''Cocky Wants A Drink!''
But who will switch the sun off, or dim its dreaded glare?
So what about Antarctica and how's the weather there?

RIDIN' ON THE FRUIT TRAIN
When I was young I used to wait down by the railway gates,
And when the fruit train came along I'd jump on with me mates.
The drivers knew our faces, and they'd let us shovel coal,
But the coal would end up on the plate we'd miss the firebox hole.
Chorus: Cottonvale, Fleurbaix, Pozieres,
Bullecourt and Passchendaele,
Baupaume, Messines and Amiens on the 42 pound rail,
For 12 miles and 25 chains through orchards, scrub and pines,
Ridin' on the fruit train on the Amiens branch line.
We'd pass the golden orchards, and we'd whistle through the pines.
There used to be six sidings, but now they've closed the line.
There's not a trace of track from Amiens to Cottonvale,
But I remember golden days on the 42 pound rail.
Chorus
Words: PENNY DAVIES Music: ROGER ILOTT Copyright 1997 Restless Music APRA/AMCOS
Notes: A chain is 22 yards (or 20.1168 metres) the length of a cricket pitch! The 42 pound rail is a light rail, weighing 42 pounds per foot.
TILL THE CAMELS COME
From Cooper Creek to Alice Springs,
The Afghan rides with the camel strings.
Raisin' dust on the beaten track, everything comes on the camel's back.
For the railway camps - a case of nails, sleepers, food and a load of
rails.
They carry tools to the copper mines, and wire for the overland telegraph
lines.
Chorus: From Hergott Springs on the Queensland Road
The camels plod with their heavy loads.
We squint through the dust & the sinking sun,
watch and wait till the camels come.
A letter from home, a bolt of lace,
kero tins in a packing case,
gear for the men in the shearing game,
picks and shovels for the diggers' claims.
Chorus
Pots and brooms and a keg of ale,
flour and a book of fairy tales.
The child who lives in a distant place
looks to the track with a hopeful face.
Chorus
From Cooper Creek to Alice Springs, the Afghan rides with the camel strings.
We run through the dust in the sinking sun - cheer as the line of camels
come.
