lyrics

IN VAN DIEMEN’S LAND

Clap thy hands
Clap thy hands
For the Milkman is found dead “I have not done it”
The Milkman is found dead in his bed Margaret Coghlan
The grey headed old grog-blossom
No one could blame her
She was as pale as death
And her eyes were glittering in
A most remarkable manner

And I don’t know when I died
Some say time will begin again
I am the last that ever was
What is lost can never be found
In Van Diemen’s Land
In Van Diemen’s Land
In Van Diemen’s Land

So they hung her
The first and last in Van Diemen’s Land
And you can still smell
The blood under the beam
No match for time and vinegar “Oh! My God, what shall I do, What will become of me?”
There was no blood on his razor
She was doomed from the start
It was they who had satisfaction
Though she did at least have one

And now do you pity me
I must be from an age
Lost to such things
Am I now back to Dublin
Or still taking rum
Behind the church
