Three Chain Road

Intro Billy was a drover He lived out on the Three Chain Road Fell in love with Mary and they married She made his shack a home He drove a mob to Queensland And it hurt to have to leave her on her own She promised she'd be waiting When he brought the cattle home There's a lonesome wind blowin down the Three Chain Road tonight It's sending out a warning as she moans Billy don't go riding down the Three Chain Road tonight The wind is crying Billy please don't go Billy came home early He wasen't due for many days He walked into the cabin found his Mary In a strangers arms she lay In the blindness of his anger The fatal shots rang out from Billy's gun In that smokey silence he knew And he wept for what he'd done There's a lonesome wind blowin down the Three Chain Road tonight It's sending out a warning as she moans Billy don't go riding down the Three Chain Road tonight The wind is crying Billy please don't go Billy walked out slowly He new what must be done Somewhere in the darkness a shot rang out Billy's time had come They say his spirits out there You can feel it every time the cold wind blows It's warning all the strangers who come by the Three Chain Road Chorus There's a lonesome wind blowin down the Three Chain Road tonight It's sending out a warning as she moans Billy don't go riding down the Three Chain Road tonight There's a lonesome wind blowin down the Three Chain Road tonight It's sending out a warning as she moans Billy don't go riding down the Three Chain Road tonight The wind is crying Billy please don't go
