Bluestone
Paul McGee
Paul McGee
We dig from the quarry we load up the train
Down Terralong street you hear the load strain
We stow it on ships and the stone it weighs ‘em down
Sail from Kiama - Sydney bound
To the Harbour boys we’ll go-yo ho
The bluestone goes below-yo ho
From Kiama Sydney bound
To build the rail and roads yo ho
To build the rail and roads
We load on the ‘Dunmore’ and ‘Resolute’
The others wait ‘neath the hopper’s shute
The ‘Stone Fleet’ rolls no matter the wind
Their timbers groan, the sails are thin
To the Harbour boys we’ll go-yo ho
The bluestone goes below-yo ho
From Kiama Sydney bound
To build the rail and roads yo ho
To build the rail and roads
Berth at the quay the stone goes down
Masons await to lay the ground
For roads and tracks and buildings new
It's our bluestone-we’ve paid our dues
To the Harbour boys we’ll go-yo ho
The bluestone goes below-yo ho
From Kiama Sydney bound
To build the rail and roads yo ho
To build the rail and roads
