歌曲歌詞
I just called in to the city of Mount Isa
The old black road from the coast was hot and long
And the first mate that I met here in the Isa
Took my hand and said mate welcome home
The sun is hot but the beer is cold at the Isa
An oasis in this big red endless land
I've always found such friendship in the Isa
Like welcome back and let me take your hand
The first time that I came to this old city
I stayed two weeks and showed in a big marquee
And today I'm drivin' 'round to view the changes
Oh there's a highway now where the old tent used to be
But the first time that I showed here at the Isa
I knew for many years that I'd come back
Fresh vegetables and fruit came from their gardens
Just something to help us further down the track hey
Across the black salt plains of Western Queensland
Though the roads are sealed it's hot and still hard work
Thirty years ago it was a little different
Corrugation on long tracks of endless dirt
You were always glad to reach this friendly city
Where mateship never left you on your own
And today when I arrived I felt that mateship
When an old friend warmly said welcome home
So I just came back to my room here at the motel
To try and write a song and be alone
Just something someone says will get you started
Like when he waves and said welcome home oh yeah
Yeah I've just came back to the city of Mt Isa
And the old black road from the coast was hot and long
Yeah the first mate that I met here in the Isa
Took my hand and said mate welcome home
