lyrics

Adopted for the first time at the age of eleven
Nobody wanted Dan O’Halloran
He got himself into mischief, gangs and fights
In juvenile detention he spent most of his time
At the age of 19 he held up a servo
They sentenced him to 14 years up at Lithgow

He was 30 when I met him out 2 years on parole
Renting a flat in Redfern collecting the dole
Dan he was my neighbour and oft times I’d drink with him
You’d never know the man had turned 21 in prison
To spite his history and the wild look in his eye
Dan was the sort of bloke you'd trust with your life

Nobody knows what happened to Dan O’Halloran except me
And it makes me shiver
But his ghost can be heard a screaming along the banks of the Daintree River.

Many a time we wasted at the Raglan happy hour
Till one day he dragged me down to the bar at the Cauliflower
Put 100 on the counter Said Paddy drink it down
cause come next Friday I’ll be skippin town
I pressed him for details but he never told me why
We just toasted our friendship and said our goodbyes

1 week later this bikie comes around
Bashin on doors wonderin where Dan can be found
I’d been seen drinking with him so he gets all up in my face
I tell him Dan was just my neighbour and I aint seen him round the place
He told me Dan had pulled a knife ripped the wrong people off
and if I see the mongrel bastard tell him he’ll be lucky if he gets shot

1 year later I got a letter
Postmarked from QLD Dan had never been better
He’d been 9 months out at sea on a Cape York fishing boat
He’d saved up lots of money and was headed for the coast
He’d had enough of running so he set up in Port Douglas
Life was beer and sun and women and selling pills to the tourists

Happy hour at the Raglan back in Redfern drinking
I overheard a voice say “you remember that dog O’Halloran?”
We found the bastard livin it up North in Port Douglas
My ears pricked up and I swiveled round to face these two bikers
They both of them chuckled and one said through a smile
We tied him up and left him by the river to the saltwater crocodiles

Nobody knows what happened to Dan O’Halloran except me
And it makes me shiver
He was beaten and left to be eaten by the crocs on the banks of the Daintree River
He was tied up and left to be eaten by the crocs on the banks of the Daintree River
He was beaten and left to be eaten by the crocs on the banks of the Daintree River
