He listens to the stories of those who have found none
And he knows that there are many more who’ll come and dig for gold
And his place will also prosper when there’s cold beer to be sold

There’s a miner there who’s braced his hole with old worn out timbers
He’s blinded by the gold lust and he hasn’t seen it splinter
And he doesn’t realize that the powder that he buys
And the fuses that he uses will bring it down onto his crown
His graves the one who’s grinning
There’s a goldrush a goldrush down at Ballarat
A goldrush a goldrush there’s money to be had
There’s a goldrush a goldrush down at Ballarat
If you want to take a chance with the gold romance then move to Ballarat
