Well it is a tradition now and it is a good day11 Dec 2025 09:03
It was Christmas Eve, babe
At the leaching tank
An old miner said to me
"We might find another Havieron"
And then he sang a song
"The Rare Old Mountain Dew"
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
When Greatland found Havieron
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you, baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cores full of bars, they've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you, it's a place for the bold
When you first drilled the land on a warm Desert Eve
You promised me fortune was waiting for me
Telfer’s handsome, some say pretty, the mine’s as big as a City
When they first finished drilling, they howled out for more
Andrew Forrest was swinging, all the P.I. drunks, they were singing
We kissed on a corner, then danced through the night
The boys of the Wyloo WA choir were singing "Hail Shaun Day"
And the sells were drying out for Christmas Day
