Virgin Ground - Redgum[00:00:00]

Sydney town 1885[00:00:33]

Sulphur air and blackened skies[00:00:36]

And you live your life[00:00:40]

In the pocket of a richer man[00:00:41]

In the sheds and the docks[00:00:47]

And down the mines[00:00:49]

From the back blocks of Queensland[00:00:51]

To the Goutre line[00:00:53]

Thanks for the money[00:00:56]

And they kick the strikers down with guns[00:00:57]

We won't drop anchor[00:01:03]

Till we reach Alta Mira sound[00:01:05]

Heave away we're new Australia bound[00:01:12]

Heave away we're new Australia bound[00:01:20]

For virgin ground[00:01:28]

In pucky little offices in Adelaide[00:01:45]

You count company profits but you're underpaid[00:01:48]

There must be more to life[00:01:52]

Than the promise of another day[00:01:54]

So collect the tools and pack your bags[00:02:00]

Sea is calling hoist a brave new flag[00:02:04]

We'll make history in the forests of Paraguay[00:02:08]

We won't drop anchor[00:02:16]

Till we reach Altermira sound[00:02:18]

Heave away we're new Australia bound[00:02:25]

Heave away we're new Australia bound[00:02:33]

For virgin ground[00:02:41]

Wide eyed romantics and a heartbreak dream[00:03:21]

Your motives aren't what they seem[00:03:25]

You've got your feet caked in Australian mud[00:03:28]

And you can't deny[00:03:32]

What's in your blood[00:03:34]

Under Paraguay skies and the nights so cold[00:03:36]

You can forsake your country[00:03:40]

And lose your soul[00:03:42]

You've got to run from your troubles[00:03:48]

No need to stand your ground[00:03:50]

Heave away we're new Australia bound[00:03:56]

We won't drop anchor[00:04:03]

Till we reach Alta Mira sound[00:04:05]

Heave away we're new Australia bound[00:04:12]

For virgin ground[00:04:20]
