Ghosts Of The Golden Mile (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
On the west Australian goldfields down Kalgoorlie[00:00:07]
Streets so wide[00:00:10]
I walked one night and felt as though the past was by[00:00:13]
My side[00:00:17]
The city lights were fading and as I stood awhile[00:00:19]
A thousand candles seemed to shine across the golden[00:00:24]
Mile[00:00:28]
The clutter of a thousand tents before me on the field[00:00:31]
Picks and shovels laid around that worked the golden[00:00:37]
Yield[00:00:41]
And diggers passed before me in a moving shifting file[00:00:42]
Their faces turned towards me ghosts of the golden mile[00:00:48]
And someone stood beside me and he watched the moving[00:01:07]
Throng[00:01:11]
He said it's getting crowded here I think I'll move[00:01:12]
Along[00:01:16]
His beard was grey and dusty on his face was not a[00:01:18]
Smile[00:01:22]
Paddy Hannan was a quiet man, he opened the golden mile[00:01:23]
And then I watched a camel team come swaying down the[00:01:30]
Track[00:01:34]
With precious loads of water casks strapped across[00:01:36]
Their backs[00:01:40]
The Afghan targ Mahommad told of new strikes all the[00:01:41]
While[00:01:46]
His turban such a friendly sight along the golden mile[00:01:47]
Oh I wish those men could see again these busy streets[00:02:06]
Today[00:02:10]
And hear the giant crushers as the mine works roar away[00:02:11]
Kalgoorlie speaks of history and it keeps their[00:02:17]
Memories live[00:02:20]
And they'll never be forgotten, ghosts of the golden[00:02:22]
Mile[00:02:26]
Oh they'll never be forgotten, ghosts of the golden[00:02:29]
Mile[00:02:33]
