Lyrics Derek Ryan – Bendigo

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

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

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
