There'll be no refreshment For a thirsty jackaroo From Melbourne to Adelaide
On the overlander
With newfangled buffet cars
And faster locomotives
The train stopped In serviceton Less and less often
There's nothing sadder
Than a town with no cheer
Voc rail decided the canteen Was no longer necessary there
No spirits No bilgewater And 80 dry locals
And the high noon sun Beats a hundred and four
There's a hummingbird Trapped in a closed Down shoe store
This tiny victorian rhubarb
Kept the watering hole open For sixty five years
Now it's boilin' In a miserable march 21 st
Wrapped the hills in a blanket Of patterson's curse The train smokes Down the xylophone There'll be no stopping here
All ya can be is thirsty
n a town with no cheer
No bourbon, no branchwater
Though the townspeople here
Fought her vic rail Decree tooth and nail
Now it's boilin' In a miserable march 21 st
Wrapped the hills In a blanket of patterson's curse
The train smokes Down the xylophone There'll be no stopping here
All ya can be is thirsty
In a town with no cheer
