... there's a coal-rush in the Galilee basin

Owen white.

lyrics

Lyrics
--------

Well the land-grab started here for them so many years ago
When Mitchell opened up the plains they called it Jericho
Now farms are not enough to spin the dollars for the kings
So they’re going to dig for coal in Galilee

Galilee Galilee
Valley of great riches, come on and gather coal
Galilee Galilee
Saddle-up your horses, we’re going for the gold

Well you’re going to need a railway from here to Abbott Point
Don’t worry about the EIS, we’ll doctor a report
Just point your hands in front of you directly to the sea
And you’ll haul your stinking coal from Galilee

Galilee Galilee
Valley of great riches, come on and gather coal
Galilee Galilee
Saddle-up your horses, we’re going for black gold

So saddle up the government, we’ll take them for a ride
The Chinese and the Indians are waiting for their prize
Now the Brigalow and Bimblebox will fade from memory
As you haul your stinking coal from Galilee

Galilee Galilee
Valley of great riches, come on and gather coal
Galilee Galilee
Saddle-up your horses, we’re going for black gold

We’ll dump the sludge into the reef, the fish’ll be just fine
Its only sediment my friend, from Bowen bloody mines
The climate it’ll be alright you wait and frickin’ see
As we dig our fuckin’ holes in Galilee

Galilee Galilee
Valley of great riches, come on and gather coal
Galilee Galilee
Saddle-up your horses, we’re going for black gold
