Mrs Susan Colley Bathurst Home for the Aged Recorded 1973
DempseyMe and my old friend DempseyTo Klondike we did go And the weather it was very cool And when we'd reached the diggings we had sparsely got a seat When like the rest we came to poor I said to Dempsey now I know where gold is found Where the nuggets they are so fine and big You get your pick and shovel while I go inside the tent And I'll sit down by the fire and watch you dig Dig away old Dempsey you'll get there bye and bye Dig away my noble you'll get there if you try You are a bad prospector put on your chest protector But dig away old Dempsey, dig away As the years rolled by I took a job as a ganger on the line What the job was as ganger on the line |
