PHIL GIBSON - THE BALLAD OF BILLY WYE1984 PHIL GIBSON RECORDS PTY LTDSide A 1/ The Blazing Stump HotelRecorded at Sound Concepts Melb. AustraliaProduced by Bob HoweEngineer - Warrick ThomasThe Blazing Stump HotelSpecially written & released in 1979 to commemorate 50 years of proprietorship by the Perry Family.Song Lyrics:There's a long, long road behind us, boys,and a steeper one ahead;To where Mitta's rushing waters rollthe nuggets in her bed;And the grim haul into Dartmouth towntops all tales that the teamsters tell;But they all must wait, for tonight we campat the Blazing Stump Hotel.Roll along with me,Sing along with me,These legends old-timers tell;Of a welcome warm since the roaring days,At the Blazing Stump Hotel.Yackandandah's water travels milesover Tunnel Gap to feedThe sluicing nozzles open widethat follow each new-found lead.But the stores are due, and the miners waiton the sound of a bullock's bell;So let's drink to them when tonight we campat the Blazing Stump Hotel.Dear old Melbourne Town's many miles behind,and the Murray just a few,On the other side of Paul Huon's run,from which Wodonga grew.How the bullocks lean into their yokesas they head for a feed and spell,For they know, like us, that tonight we campat the Blazing Stump Hotel.Gibson/Martin
