Here you go.

Blue Murder
(Alistair Hulett)

They said it's easy money in a full page ad in a local rag,
Always nice and sunny, come on, lad, and pack your bag,
Off to West Australia, leave the old home town behind,
Be a winner, not a failure, there's money to make in the Wittenoom mine.

Chorus: Day in, day out, every day they drive us harder.
Day in, day out, they're getting away with blue murder.

They took me to my quarters, a stinking bed in an old tin shed.
I got my working orders with a lamp and a tin hat on my head.

Chorus

My girl, she's a cook and cleaner, works all day in the canteen hall.
Six days since I've seen her, some don't have no girl at all.

Chorus

She sweeps the fine blue dust up, tips it into an old wool pack,
Never had a check-up, if she did she'd get the sack.

Chorus

I feel my health is failing, I work all day in the killer dust.
My kids play in the tailings, the boss says work and work I must.

Chorus

There are plenty of Net references to Wittenoom, but the one below is pretty succinct.
