Haunted - Fiddler's Green

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

That’s what I have been told

I have to rove and ramble and to roam the streets at night

Cause I can’t bear to stay at home

The yearning’s deep inside

One night I was completely drunk

And staggered through the town

My head fell on the pavement

As the streets moved up and down

When I regained my consciousness

I looked into your eyes

Oh please don’t go

I’m beggin' you

I’ll always treat you nice

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

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?

Never — never — never — never

I’ve been rovin

All my life
