Lyrics Charcoal Lane (2013 Remastered) - Archie Roach
Side
by
side,
we
walk
along
To
the
end
of
Gertrude
Street
And
we
topple
in
muster
for
a
quart
of
wine
Thick
or
thin,
right
or
wrong
In
the
cold
and
in
the
heat
We'd
cross
over
Smith
street
to
the
end
of
the
line
Then
we
laugh
and
sing,
do
anything
To
take
away
the
pain
Tryna
keep
it
down
as
it
first
went
'round
In
charcoal
lane
Spinning
yarns
and
telling
jokes
Now
the
wine
is
tasting
good
'Cause
it's
getting
closer
and
closer
to
it's
end
Have
a
sip
and
roll
some
smokes
We'd
smoke
'Tailor
mades'
if
we
could
But
we
just
make
do
with
some
city
street
blend
Then
we'd
all
chuck
in
And
we'd
start
to
grin
When
we
had
enough
to
do
it
again
But
if
things
got
tight
then
we'd
have
to
bite
For
charcoal
lane
Up
Gertrude
Street
We'd
walk
once
more
With
just
a
few
cents
short
And
we'd
stop
at
The
Builders
to
see
who
we
could
see
Then
we
barter
around
until
we
score
A
flagon
of
McWilliams
port
Enough
to
take
away
our
misery
And
we'd
all
get
drunk
Oh,
so
drunk
And
maybe
a
little
insane
And
we'd
stagger
home
all
alone
And
the
next
day
we'd
do
it
again
Have
a
reviver
in
charcoal
lane
I'm
a
survivor
of
charcoal
lane
