Greymouth has gone to the dogs
Like Cobden over the river
Now called the Bronx
Interesting in the fact that all through the West Coast Gold rushes
With the myriad of miners passing through the province
There was in relation relatively very little crime
In stark contrast to the Australian Gold Rushes
