There's a goldrush, a
goldrush down at Ballarat
There's a goldrush, a goldrush there's money to be had
There's a goldrush, a goldrush down at Ballarat
If you wanna take a chance with the gold romance
Then move to Ballarat
There's a man down at the
creek who's panned his life away
Searching for the gold dust that he wants to come his way
And he's looking for those tiny flecks that he believes are there
And he wants to build a golden pile to take him anywhere
There's a goldrush, a
goldrush down at Ballarat
There's a goldrush, a goldrush there's money to be had
There's a goldrush, a goldrush down at Ballarat
If you wanna take a chance with the gold romance
Then move to Ballarat
There's the publican whos
been there since he was 21
He listens to the stories of those who have found none
He knows that there are many more will come and dig for gold
And his place will also prosper when there's cold beer to be sold
There's a goldrush, a
goldrush down at Ballarat
There's a goldrush, a goldrush there's money to be had
There's a goldrush, a goldrush down at Ballarat
If you wanna take a chance with the gold romance
Then move to Ballarat
There's the miner there
whos braced his hole with old and worn out timbers
He's blinded by the gold lust and he hasn't seen it splinter
And he doesn't realise that the powder that he buys and the fuses that he uses
Will bring it down upon his crown, his grave's the one thats grinning
There's a goldrush, a
goldrush down at Ballarat
There's a goldrush, a goldrush there's money to be had
There's a goldrush, a goldrush down at Ballarat
If you wanna take a chance with the gold romance
Then move to Ballarat
