Van Diemen's Land

[Verse 1]

Hold me now, oh, hold me now

'Til this hour has gone around

And I'm gone on the rising tide

For to face Van Diemen's Land

[Verse 2]

It's a bitter pill I swallow here

To be rent from one so dear

We fought for justice and not for gain

But the magistrate sent me away

[Verse 3]

Now kings will rule and the poor will toil

And tear their hands as they tear the soil

But a day will come in this dawning age

When an honest man sees an honest wage

[Verse 1]

Hold me now, oh, hold me now

'Til this hour has gone around

And I'm gone on the rising tide

For to face Van Diemen's Land

[Outro: Spoken]

Adam?

Oh, I don't know
