Bush Telegraph - John Williams[00:00:00]
There's a rumour of a gold[00:00:00]
Strike to the south of Ballarat[00:00:02]
And someone stole some cattle[00:00:05]
At the back of Carly's Flat[00:00:06]
There's been a fight in Dinny Ryan's Bar in Ararat[00:00:09]
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph[00:00:12]
Fat lambs brought a record[00:00:16]
Price last week in Bendigo[00:00:17]
Tommy Burker's been to[00:00:19]
Mass three Sundays in a row[00:00:21]
It used to take a family death[00:00:23]
Or drought to make him go[00:00:25]
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph[00:00:26]
We don't need no fancy wires[00:00:30]
To get the message through[00:00:32]
Satellites or thing-a-ma-jigs whizzing round the moon[00:00:34]
Or twenty feet of binder twine[00:00:37]
With a jam tin cut in half[00:00:39]
It's pure Australian magic the Bush Telegraph[00:00:41]
Now Nora Reilly's daughter went to[00:00:48]
Melbourne for a spell[00:00:50]
After going out with[00:00:52]
Nicky Doyle it's probrely just as well[00:00:53]
Home's no place for a girl[00:00:55]
When her belly starts to swell[00:00:57]
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph[00:00:59]
Now Andy Reagan's famous[00:01:03]
Temper went off like a bomb[00:01:04]
When he heard his only daughter[00:01:06]
Kate got married to a bum[00:01:08]
His Siamese cat had kittens to a[00:01:10]
Whatawa Ginger Tom[00:01:12]
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph[00:01:13]
Now we don't need no fancy wires[00:01:17]
To get the message through[00:01:19]
Satellites or thing-a-ma-jigs whizzing round the moon[00:01:20]
Or twenty feet of binder twine[00:01:24]
With a jam tin cut in half[00:01:26]
It's pure Australian magic the Bush Telegraph[00:01:27]
Now Hanrahan God bless his soul[00:01:45]
His chooks are off the lay[00:01:47]
He always reckoned[00:01:49]
They were good for fifteen eggs a day[00:01:50]
And mostly double yolkers[00:01:52]
He'd give them all away[00:01:54]
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph[00:01:56]
Who fronted at the court today[00:02:00]
The judge won't let him drive[00:02:02]
For clocking in at point tweenty three[00:02:04]
Instead of point zreo five[00:02:06]
Tweenty beers in two hours flat[00:02:08]
Won't keep a man alive[00:02:10]
You'll hear it on the Bush Telegraph[00:02:12]
We don't need no fancy wires[00:02:16]
To get the message through[00:02:18]
Satellites or thing-a-ma-jigs whizzing round the moon[00:02:20]
Or twenty feet of binder twine[00:02:23]
With a jam tin cut in half[00:02:25]
It's pure Australian magic the Bush Telegraph[00:02:27]
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph[00:02:41]
Yes you'll hear it on the Bush Telegraph[00:02:44]
