If you mean a song I know as "Shanties by the Way" it is I am told a New Zealand song written in the 30's by a man called Thatcher.

The first verse goes

"It's in a first class business section
Where two bush roads cross and meet
It stands in quiet and neat direction
To rest the weary travellers feet...

The rest of this jolly number is about how the landlord takes the drovers' pay in those Shanties by the way.

Chorus:-

"Rows of bottle standing upright
Labelled with bright blue and gold
Beer so cold it needs no ice in
From the cellar we have hauled"

Sorry don't remember the rest of it though I guess somebody may have all the words. I've checked the DigiTrad database but couldn't find it.

Regards

Ian
