歌曲歌詞
There's a rumour of a gold
Strike to the south of Ballarat
And someone stole some cattle
At the back of Carly's Flat
There's been a fight in Dinny Ryan's Bar in Ararat
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph
Fat lambs brought a record
Price last week in Bendigo
Tommy Burker's been to
Mass three Sundays in a row
It used to take a family death
Or drought to make him go
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph
We don't need no fancy wires
To get the message through
Satellites or thing-a-ma-jigs whizzing round the moon
Or twenty feet of binder twine
With a jam tin cut in half
It's pure Australian magic the Bush Telegraph
Now Nora Reilly's daughter went to
Melbourne for a spell
After going out with
Nicky Doyle it's probrely just as well
Home's no place for a girl
When her belly starts to swell
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph
Now Andy Reagan's famous
Temper went off like a bomb
When he heard his only daughter
Kate got married to a bum
His Siamese cat had kittens to a
Whatawa Ginger Tom
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph
Now we don't need no fancy wires
To get the message through
Satellites or thing-a-ma-jigs whizzing round the moon
Or twenty feet of binder twine
With a jam tin cut in half
It's pure Australian magic the Bush Telegraph
Now Hanrahan God bless his soul
His chooks are off the lay
He always reckoned
They were good for fifteen eggs a day
And mostly double yolkers
He'd give them all away
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph
Who fronted at the court today
The judge won't let him drive
For clocking in at point tweenty three
Instead of point zreo five
Tweenty beers in two hours flat
Won't keep a man alive
You'll hear it on the Bush Telegraph
We don't need no fancy wires
To get the message through
Satellites or thing-a-ma-jigs whizzing round the moon
Or twenty feet of binder twine
With a jam tin cut in half
It's pure Australian magic the Bush Telegraph
You heard it on the Bush Telegraph
Yes you'll hear it on the Bush Telegraph
