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
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
