It is not uncommon for commuters to live in these outer-townships and to travel to the 'Big Smoke' for their daily work. The writer of this song obviously did not enjoy the daily journey.」「1. Have you ever travelled to Sydney on the Woy Woy Workers' Train?/ It rolls along the railroad, it rattles through your brain,/ It fills your clothes with smoke and soot, filthy dirt & grime,/ You never travel in comfort and you're seldom there on time.」「2. Have you ever travelled to Sydney on the Woy Woy Workers' Train/ Travelled many times myself, but I never will again,/ You race to catch the dreary thing, quite early in the morn,/ You gaze out thru' the windows for the breaking of the dawn.」「3. Same old dreary carriages, same old dreary seats,/ I've never travelled in one yet that's comfortable & neat,/ You climb aboard, you find a seat, you try to settle down,/ The whistle blows, the engine chuffs, & you head for Sydney Town.」「4. You pull into stations the porter gives a yell,/ He tells you where you're going, or you'd find it hard to tell,/ The place is always dreary, nothing looking bright,/ Even half the carriages, they seldom have a light.」「5. As you're pulling into Woy Woy, the crowd will give a roar,/ They dive in thru' the windows, they rush in thru' the door,/ There's plenty of push & shovin' as they come in thru' the door,/ They've got no seats to sit on so they sit upon the floor.」「6. You dive into a tunnel, the biggest in the state,/ It makes you curse the railways, because they're out of date,/ They say we own the railways! They don't belong to me,/ We only pay the interest to the hob-nobs overseas.」「7. When you come to Hawkesbury river, put an engine in the lead,/ There's twice the smoke and soot & grime but only half the speed;/ As you're pullin' out from Brooklyn, you climb the Hawkesbury Hill/ The darn thing travels such a speed, you'd swear you're standin' still」「8. As you're coming into Hornsby, you're off and running late,/ The signals are against you, oh! the whole thing's out of date,/ Eventually you get to work, the boss he's in a rage,/ When it comes to pay day, he docks your bloomin' wage.」「9. They say we own the railways, there's breakdowns here & there,/ If the people own the railways, well I'll give away my share,/ You never travel in comfort, often get there late,/ They want to change the system, 'cause the whole thing's out of date.」]。[キーワード]：Australiaオーストラリア、folk song民謡、独唱（男声）、banjoバンジョー（spike lutes ビワ類３シャミセン）、fiddlフィドル（lutes ビワ類１ビワ）、合奏
