lyrics

something died in braidwood as i was walking through
sure was not no wombat, sure was not no roo
i could tell from looks i got from folks in braidwood town
her love for me is what had died and she was not around

braidwood, whatcha do, did you scare my love away?
i could have come back to a home to share with her someday
did she mention why she left or maybe where she'd gone?
you could have told her something to keep her hanging on

i walked into the op shop, i walked into the post
i walked into the braidwood pub, places she liked most
everyone just looked at me and then they looked away
i asked them if they'd seen my love, they wouldn't even say

braidwood, whatcha do, did you let my love go free?
you threw away my one last hope for a future family
did you give her my last message, did you tell her what i said?
i wanted to explain myself, but she'd already gone to bed

i'm still here in braidwood with nothing much to do
sometimes at the braidwood pub i see folks i once knew
i put up a wanted sign with my love's photo there
if you see her, there's a reward if you tell me where

braidwood, whatcha do, did you meddle with my life?
are you so lonely you can't let me settle with a wife?
i will still forgive you 'til i reach that happy end
we will stick together, braidwood, we're each other's friend
