VAN DIEMEN'S LAND traditional; arranged by David Gossage performed by Tüna with Michelle Campagne on vocals
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
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
Now kings will rule and the poor will toil And tear their hands as they tear the soil But a day will come in the dawning age When an honest man sees an honest wage
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
