Keela Valley Coals - Slim Dusty

This old world’s a worry, were going through hard times

Interest rates will break ya, inflation how it climbs

But I know a spot in Queensland where the old Pacific roams

And all your cares will vanish round Keela Valley Coals

Get those boats out on the beach, and rig those lines up right

I know theres mackerel runnin mate, we’ll feast on fish tonight

Alans got the bottom gear, he knows a darn good hole

We could be grilling coral trout ;round Keela Valley Coals

So bring the wood out boys, build a fire for hardy souls

There’ll be a yarn or two tonight, 'round Keela Valley Coals

Hey put those stubbies on the ice, you’ve got’em in the sun

The boys will need a cold one, when they’ve done the mackerel run

Greg claims hell fill the boxes an' I’m sure he’ll reach his goal

And we can celebrate tonight 'round Keela Valley Coals

So bring the wood out boys, build a fire for hardy souls

There’ll be a yarn or two tonight, 'round Keela Valley Coals

And if you’d like a sunset, we’ll show you one alright

You’d swear the world’s on fire, lookin' from the beach tonight

And you’ll be waxin' lyrical, it’s beauty to extol

While sippin' on a stubbie mate, 'round Keela Valley Coals

So bring the wood out boys, build a fire for hardy souls

We’ll be sippin' on a stubbie mate, 'round Keela Valley Coals

I recken it’s poor mans paradise, 'round Keela Valley Coals
