Well I lost my home and fortune
People think I'm round the bend
Now I'm a dirty beggar
Wailing in Van Diemen's Land
And all the money that some passing people give to me
I spend in 1000 bars and get as drunk as I can
Well, I'm haunted by a ghost
I've got to run away from me
But this ghost's inside of me
So tell me when will I be free?
Well, I'm haunted by a ghost
I've got to run away from me
But this ghost's inside of me
So tell me when will I be free?
I've been searching high and low
Just for a little piece of gold
But you can't hurry love, my friend
