Bendigo - Derek Ryan

Bendigo Bendigo digging high digging low

There’s gold there on the streets you know

If you go go go to Bendigo

In Eighteen Fifty we were told

They found the end to the rainbow

It’s out there for the brave and bold

Waiting down in Bendigo

Bendigo Bendigo digging high digging low

There’s gold there on the streets you know

If you go go go to Bendigo

The road ahead was long and tough

When me and Billy saddled up

We had finally had enough

Of drinking from the poor man’s cup

Bendigo Bendigo digging high digging low

There’s gold there on the streets you know

If you go go go to Bendigo

Me and Billy dug and dug

And gave it everything we could

And all we found were rocks and mud

Yeah we would fight like wild dogs would

Bendigo Bendigo digging high digging low

There’s gold there on the streets you know

If you go go go to Bendigo

One bright morning we did find

A hundred pieces of sunshine

And Billy seemed to change his mind

He pulled his gun said «That Gold’s Mine»

Another day some other soul

Will dig here for the precious gold

But all that’s buried in this hole

Is the secrets Billy left below

Oh, Bendigo Bendigo digging high digging low

There’s gold there on the streets you know

If you go go go to Bendigo

Oh, Bendigo Bendigo digging high digging low

There’s gold there on the streets you know

If you go go go to Bendigo

If you go go go to Bendigo

Let’s go
