Does anyone know the lyrics to Eric Bogle's song Lady from Bendigo.

A short and correct response would be "Yes, I do". Not very helpful though. I have the album (Plain and simple) on which this song is at home. I'm sure it has the lyrcis added. If nobody else is faster than me, look here tomorrow.

Is she any relation to Dido??

G. (sorry, I'm in a more than usually silly mood today. Must be something to do with the relief of having my daughter's exam. results.)

Sorry, Anahata, I was so sure I had it, but I'm wrong. Over to others that might have it.

Anahata,
Sorry for not sending these before but I thought that someone would have sent them before I even had a chance to find the album.


Lady from Bendigo.

1. The days of my life have been quite self-contained.
I've had no joy, but then I don't feel much pain.
There's nothing as safe as a cold selfish heart.
But now my defenses have been blasted apart.
By the sweet core of life that does glow.
My lady from Bendigo.

CHORUS: Speak to me, talk to me, tell me you love me.
Give my life purpose and show me the way.
Reach for me, touch me and give me your body.
And as for tomorrow, we'll live it today.
Will you come when I call, will you go.
My lady from Bendigo.

2. Well this is your love song and I wrote it for you.
The words may sound silly, but you know they're true.
When I wrote them, I meant them and I mean them still.
You know that I love you and I always will.
And if you love me let it show.
My lady from Bendigo. CHORUS

3. And if ever my loving should cause you some pain.
Just think of this love song and listen again.
Remember the passion and think of the man.
Remember the heart that you held in your hand.
And if you love me let it show.
My lady from Bendigo. CHORUS

My lady from Bendigo.


The album "Plain & Simple is available now on CD from Greentrax (Europe) and Tempo International (Australia)
Eric comments: "I had this nice tune running around in my head for quite some months. Bendigo is a very nice city in Australia and I've always found the name curiously evocative. So this song is for all those blokes who have a girlfriend, wife, mother, sweetheart or whatever who comes from Bendigo.
Cheers!
Bugsy.
