Haunted Songtext
von Fiddler’s Green

Well I lost my home and fortune
People think I′m round the bend
Now I'm a dirty beggar
Wailing in Van Diemen′s Land
And all the money that some passing people give to me
I spend in 1000 bars and get as drunk as I can

Well, I'm haunted by a ghost
I've got to run away from me
But this ghost′s inside of me
So tell me when will I be free?
Well, I′m haunted by a ghost
I've got to run away from me
But this ghost′s inside of me
So tell me when will I be free?


I've been searching high and low
Just for a little piece of gold
But you can′t hurry love, my friend
That's what I have been told
I have to rove and ramble and to roam the streets at night
Cause I can′t bear to stay at home
The yearning's deep inside

One night I was completely drunk
And staggered through the town
My head fell on the pavement
As the streets moved up and down
When I regained my consciousness
I looked into your eyes
Oh please don't go
I′m beggin′ you
I'll always treat you nice

Well I lost my home and fortune
People think I′m round the bend
Now I'm a dirty beggar
Wailing in Van Diemen′s Land
And all the money that some passing people give to me
I spend in 1000 bars and get as drunk as I can


I'm haunted by a ghost
I′ve got to run away from me
But this ghost's inside of me
So tell me when will I be free?
Never - never - never - never

I've been rovin
All my life
