The Golden Mile - Live
The whole town's on the loop line
Two up rules the day
Pennies rising with the sun
Except for the day that mum gets her pay
The black man
And the white man
Are scratching their sunburnt face
While digging themselves
A hole in the ground
To find a better place
Everybody wants a holiday
With a full day's pay
Some people need it
Some people steal it
Some people have it anyway
Children watch a father
Twelve hours full of sweat
Look in his eye and see the future
In the leather skin spinners bet
While the black man
And the white man
Are scratching their weary face
While they're digging themselves
A hole in the ground
To find a better place
Everybody wants a holiday
With a full day's pay
Some people need it
Some people steal it
Some people have it anyway
Can you see your children falling
Down Kalgoorlie's hill
Can they see the future in the miner's
Golden swill golden swill
Golden swill golden swill
It's been a long time sweating
When you run the golden mile
The golden mile
Oh Kalgoorlie When's it gonna rain
Oh Kalgoorlie When's it gonna co
Two up rules the day
Pennies rising with the sun
Except for the day that mum gets her pay
The black man
And the white man
Are scratching their sunburnt face
While digging themselves
A hole in the ground
To find a better place
Everybody wants a holiday
With a full day's pay
Some people need it
Some people steal it
Some people have it anyway
Children watch a father
Twelve hours full of sweat
Look in his eye and see the future
In the leather skin spinners bet
While the black man
And the white man
Are scratching their weary face
While they're digging themselves
A hole in the ground
To find a better place
Everybody wants a holiday
With a full day's pay
Some people need it
Some people steal it
Some people have it anyway
Can you see your children falling
Down Kalgoorlie's hill
Can they see the future in the miner's
Golden swill golden swill
Golden swill golden swill
It's been a long time sweating
When you run the golden mile
The golden mile
Oh Kalgoorlie When's it gonna rain
Oh Kalgoorlie When's it gonna co
