Lyrics Keela Valley Coals - Slim Dusty

Keela Valley Coals

This old world’s a worry, were going through hard times
Interest rates will break ya, inflation how it climbs
But I know a spot in Queensland where the old Pacific roams
And all your cares will vanish round Keela Valley Coals
Get those boats out on the beach, and rig those lines up right
I know theres mackerel runnin mate, we’ll feast on fish tonight
Alans got the bottom gear, he knows a darn good hole
We could be grilling coral trout ;round Keela Valley Coals
So bring the wood out boys, build a fire for hardy souls
There’ll be a yarn or two tonight, 'round Keela Valley Coals
Hey put those stubbies on the ice, you’ve got’em in the sun
The boys will need a cold one, when they’ve done the mackerel run
Greg claims hell fill the boxes an' I’m sure he’ll reach his goal
And we can celebrate tonight 'round Keela Valley Coals
So bring the wood out boys, build a fire for hardy souls
There’ll be a yarn or two tonight, 'round Keela Valley Coals
And if you’d like a sunset, we’ll show you one alright
You’d swear the world’s on fire, lookin' from the beach tonight
And you’ll be waxin' lyrical, it’s beauty to extol
While sippin' on a stubbie mate, 'round Keela Valley Coals
So bring the wood out boys, build a fire for hardy souls
We’ll be sippin' on a stubbie mate, 'round Keela Valley Coals
I recken it’s poor mans paradise, 'round Keela Valley Coals
