Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Billy was a drover
He lived out on three chain road
Fell in love with Mary and they married
She made his shack a home
[Verse 2]
He drove them off to Queensland
And it hurt to have to leave her on her own
But she promised she'd be waitin'
When he brought the cattle home
[Verse 3]
There's a lonesome wind blowin' down
The three chain road tonight
It's sendin' out a warnin' as she moans
Billy don't go ridin' down
The three chain road tonight
Wind is cryin', Billy, please don't go
[Verse 4]
Billy came home early
Wasn't due for many days
He walked into the cabin, found his Mary
In a strangers arms she lay
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
There's a lonesome wind blowin' down
The three chain road tonight
It's sendin' out a warnin' as she moans
Billy don't go ridin' down
The three chain road tonight
Wind is cryin', Billy, please don't go
[Verse 7]
Billy walked out slowly
He knew what must be done
Somewhere in the darkness a shot rang out
Billy's time had come
[Verse 8]
And they say his spirit's out there
You can feel it every time the cold wind blows
And it's warnin' off the strangers
Who come by the three chain road
[Verse 9]
There's a lonesome wind blowin' down
The three chain road tonight
And it's sendin' out a warnin' as she moans
Billy don't go ridin' down
The three chain road tonight
There's a lonesome wind blowin' down
The three chain road tonight
It's sendin' out a warnin' as she moans
Billy don't go ridin' down
The three chain road tonight
The wind is cryin', Billy, please don't go
