       D        A          D
When I came and took up my claim,
D7         G              D
Well, Bill Muggins was my name,
           D7                  G
For though I'm a young man and able,
         A7       D           A7
Here I'm stuck, a-rocking the cradle,
         D         E       A
And that is a Bill Muggins game,


Ch:
A7          D       A7      D
But I'm a - wake up! I will break up!
    D7                  G
I'm never more going to roam.
     A7                       D       G
I've panned in my dugout with never a nugget,
    A7                      D     A   D
I'm packing my things to go home.



I've hunted Otago for gold
In the wind and the rain and the cold,
Holed up all winter under the snow
Along the winding Molyneaux,
And that is where you need to have holed,

Ch


In those Shanties where you spin
Away all of your hard-earned tin,
Nancy's smiles are so beguiling,
That's why Nancy's always smiling.
Landlord says he's not taking you in,

Ch.
