The Halliard - The Diggins O! lyrics

I've come back all skin and bones From the Diggins O! And I wished I'd never gone To the Diggins O! Believe me it's no fun For I once weighed fifteen stone But they brought me down to one At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! But they brought me down to one At the Diggins O! I built a hut of mud At the Diggins O! It got washed away by flood At the Diggins O! I used to dig and cry And I wished that I could die Undertakers charge to high At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! Undertakers charge to high At the Diggins O! Table beer's two bob a quart At the Diggins O! Get your eyes bashed out for nought At the Diggins O! Five shillings a night bread brick And bu*ter's a shilling a lick And they laugh when you ask for tick At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! They laugh when you ask for tick At the Diggins O! They went and they robbed me of me all At the Diggins O! All my nuggets they did steal At the Diggins O! I sneaked away unhurt Oh they even stole my shirt I was covered up with dirt From the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! I was covered up with dirt From the Diggins O! No one cares for a ruined man At the Diggins O! Thinks I'll get home if I can From the Diggins O! I had to sleep out in the cold I've been bought and then resold Here's a curse of the so-called gold At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! Here's a curse of the so-called gold At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! At the Diggins O! Here's a curse of the so-called gold At the Diggins O!
