R-J, looking forward to seeing you again. It has been a long time. THE DIGGERS SONG (Tom Smith/Wongawilli) By the side of the creek with shovel and pan I see the gold diggers, a bold, sturdy clan They are sinking for wealth and ‘neath the red mould Lies all that they seek for, the long wished for gold Chorus So dig ‘neat the mould, boys Where you’ll find gold, boys Aye, find it the same as you’ve found it before The rock and the cradle sounds constant and clear ’Tis music indeed to the gold-seeker’s ear For when fortune favours, it makes their hearts bold Contented and happy though toiling for gold Chorus Ah, what can compare with the life that they lead Unvexed by those cares of which others take heed And when with their pile they visit the town Repine not in finding they’ve knocked it all down Chorus Come, I’ll pledge you a toast and now let it be ‘The diggers’ who here give a welcome to me May fortune be theirs as they toil in the mould And each one go home with a good pile of gold Chorus Youtube clip --Stewie.
