Bendigo Rock Lyrics - Van Diemen's Land - Russell Morris

Well I hear tell it's lying on the ground 

Wherever you look it's easy to be found 

Aint nothing like gold fever in the air 

So I pack my bags and now I get my share 

Oh I know I won't ever stop 

Push myself until I drop 

I've got to get my piece of that bendigo rock 

Well I walk four miles and four more 

On the road to castlemaine my they're sore 

Well I heard about the man who overnight 

Filled his boots with nuggets oh so bright 

Oh I know I won't ever stop 

Push myself until I drop 

I've got to get my piece of that bendigo rock 

Oh I am I welcome stranger? 

Can I stake my claim? 

Oh I'm so glad, so glad you came 

Out in the fields the rumors fly around 

And there's always talk from the irish side of town 

The whitehill the mountain they've been dishing gold 

At Emu Creek eureka they cry gold 

Oh I know I won't ever stop 

Push myself until I drop 

I've got to get my piece of that bendigo rock 

Got to get my piece of that bendigo rock
