Big River - Weddings Parties Anything[00:00:01]

He came up from the country looking for a job of work [00:00:04]

He came from a town that died a slow hard death [00:00:09]

And when the train pulled into Spencer Street he was fast asleep [00:00:15]

He opened one eye and he took a long deep breath [00:00:22]

On the first day he was dazed by the noise and by the bustle [00:00:29]

He sat in the square and tried so hard to think [00:00:36]

Found a cheap hotel and booked himself a room all damp and shabby[00:00:43]

He sat in the bar he bought himself a drink [00:00:50]

He sang: "Flow river flow flow to the sea [00:00:56]

Flow on big river bring my dreams back home to me "[00:01:05]

He rose early on the second day [00:01:17]

And watched the dirty struggle of the dawn[00:01:21]

To rise above the smoke and haze [00:01:26]

And armed with a map he made his way from factory to foundry [00:01:31]

Joined the queues of the unskilled labourers [00:01:37]

Then an old man came shook his hand [00:01:44]

Sat right there beside him [00:01:48]

And he heard the tale of rural poverty [00:01:51]

Shook his head and with a tear he said [00:01:58]

"All that you have told me[00:02:02]

Is like having my own story told to me "[00:02:05]

He sang: "Flow river flow flow to the sea [00:02:11]

Flow on big river bring my dreams back home to me "[00:02:20]

Drinking harder every night [00:02:40]

He made himself keep searching[00:02:43]

Till he found he could not rise to greet the day [00:02:46]

And he lay behind a vale of tears on the Yarra bank that morning [00:02:52]

And he wondered how the hell things got this way [00:02:59]

Late that night he stumbled from an inner city bar [00:03:07]

Barely conscious down the alley he did sway [00:03:13]

And they beat him they sank the boot in [00:03:20]

And they took his last four dollars [00:03:23]

Left him dying in the dawn it was Saturday [00:03:27]

He sang: "Flow river flow flow to the sea [00:03:35]

Flow on big river bring my dreams back home to me "[00:03:42]

Flow river flow flow to the sea [00:03:49]

Flow on big river bring my dreams back home to me [00:03:55]

Flow river flow oh flow on to the sea [00:04:02]

Flow on big river bring my dreams bring them home to me[00:04:09]
