recorded sometime in 2004 with Adrian and Baxter

lyrics

Muddy water flowing down stream
Muddy water carries our golden dreams
Muddy water keep a sharp eye out
It might be raining but
that muddy water
gets the nuggets out

Pan that gold yeah, pan it good
Pan the gold sift it like you should
Sift it like you should
Those folks down stream will get it
If you don't watch out
Well the road to Melbourne
Paved with gold
There's 50 men down a hole
There picking and digging
Hammering and shifting sandy earth
The Muddy water gets the nuggets out

Well the road to Melbourne
Paved with gold
There's 50 men down a hole
There girdling and sleuthing
Telling jokes and goofing arounds
The Muddy water gets the nuggets out

Pan that gold yeah, pan it good
Pan the gold sift it like you should
Sift it like you should
mining gold yeah
helps pass the lonely hours

Boil your billiy's well my friends
There's a dead cow in the stream again
Bags of laundry and weekend swills
Lanterns move around the misty hills
that muddy water
gets the nuggets out

Well the road to Melbourne
Paved with gold
There's 50 men down a hole
oh there's bush rangers in the hills
You better guard your fortunes well

It might be raining but
that muddy water
gets the nuggets out

It's such a long way to Melbourne town
It's a long way to Melbourne
It's a long way
Such a long way
mmh

Muddy water flowing down stream
Muddy water carries our golden dreams
Muddy water keep a sharp eye out
It might be raining but
that muddy water
gets the nuggets out
Those folks down stream will get it
If you don't watch out

Well the road to Melbourne
Paved with gold
There's 50 men down a hole
Moving heaven and hell
and blowing up things all about

It might be raining but that muddy gets the nuggets out
