《Ghosts Of The Golden Mile》歌词

[00:00:00] Ghosts Of The Golden Mile (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty

[00:00:07] On the west Australian goldfields down Kalgoorlie

[00:00:10] Streets so wide

[00:00:13] I walked one night and felt as though the past was by

[00:00:17] My side

[00:00:19] The city lights were fading and as I stood awhile

[00:00:24] A thousand candles seemed to shine across the golden

[00:00:28] Mile

[00:00:31] The clutter of a thousand tents before me on the field

[00:00:37] Picks and shovels laid around that worked the golden

[00:00:41] Yield

[00:00:42] And diggers passed before me in a moving shifting file

[00:00:48] Their faces turned towards me ghosts of the golden mile

[00:01:07] And someone stood beside me and he watched the moving

[00:01:11] Throng

[00:01:12] He said it's getting crowded here I think I'll move

[00:01:16] Along

[00:01:18] His beard was grey and dusty on his face was not a

[00:01:22] Smile

[00:01:23] Paddy Hannan was a quiet man, he opened the golden mile

[00:01:30] And then I watched a camel team come swaying down the

[00:01:34] Track

[00:01:36] With precious loads of water casks strapped across

[00:01:40] Their backs

[00:01:41] The Afghan targ Mahommad told of new strikes all the

[00:01:46] While

[00:01:47] His turban such a friendly sight along the golden mile

[00:02:06] Oh I wish those men could see again these busy streets

[00:02:10] Today

[00:02:11] And hear the giant crushers as the mine works roar away

[00:02:17] Kalgoorlie speaks of history and it keeps their

[00:02:20] Memories live

[00:02:22] And they'll never be forgotten, ghosts of the golden

[00:02:26] Mile

[00:02:29] Oh they'll never be forgotten, ghosts of the golden

[00:02:33] Mile
