Goldmine 03:17
Goldmine Been around this country it’s big and it’s old Stories of people burn to be told Picture the places there for the brush Swag full of songs flow with a rush For the singer and the song there’s a dusty old road Rolling the dice winning the gold But the man who’s a digger’s gonna make it to fame If the wind doesn’t win and blow out his claim Chorus It’s a goldmine it’s a goldmine Picture the paintings songs to be sung Stories all waiting for their day in the sun It’s fine to be one of natures gentleman But you get knocked down again and again It’s not so easy to come up with a gem Been painting pictures since I can’t remember when Chorus It’s not exactly a bag full of fun Pushing a pen the green side of a gun There’s no dividend from a hackneyed pun I’ve made more money from the songs that I’ve sung Chorus Been around this country it’s big and it’s old Many a story is there to be told Many a picture is there for the brush Many a song has gone with the rush It’s a goldmine, it’s a goldmine….

Janie 03:40
Janie I heard so much about Janie Can’t wait to take a look I only hope it isn’t raining It’s too far to be mistook Ice and beer is for the sunshine Rum is there for the cold Taking scotch for the snakes there The empty bottles knock them cold Chorus Walk in a fascinating mystery Footprints in paradise And no one seems to go there anymore Pack the single lens reflex Gonna shoot some cockatoos Sounds like a great way to relax Gonna try and frame the mood They got muddies on the menu Main course Mangrove Jack Take ‘em hook line and sinker Talk about going back Chorus Where is this Janie Where has she been Who’s been to see her Down by the sea Is it still raining Where can she be Do you want to see her Or is it still me Heard so much about Janie Could just about write a book I only hope I’m not mistaken Better go and take a look Ice and beer is for the sunshine Rum is there for the cold Better go and talk to Silver He’ll know as good as gold Chorus
