Chorus
Gympies got a heart of gold, it beats stronger as the Mary flows
Gympies got a heart of gold
When the muddy waters of the Mary rolls, the old town starts to overflow
Gympies got a heart of gold
James Nash carved his name in our history, Gympie’s gold put Queensland on its feet
1893 saw the flood of the century, the settlers had to move to higher ground
Chorus
Storm clouds roll around, the big wet comes to town
Travey crossing’s always first to go,
By then all the locals know, to pack up now and hit the road
Or watch your dreams start to overflow
Chorus
The rain has stopped, the sun is shining, the water slowly goes
Everyone is glad to lend a hand
