Paddy Hannan is a legend
He made the Goldfields rise
The biggest find of gold was,
Paddy’s Precious Prize.
It happened 123 years ago
Paddy and friends moved to W.A.
Hoping to find gold and become rich,
They were here to stay!
Heavy rain washed away the red mud,
panning became hard looking for gold.
“We hit the jackpot!” Paddy yelled
Coolgardie received news, his claim was told.
Paddy’s gigantic gold discovery
Made Kalgoorlie a town.
He’s the King of the Goldfields,
Paddy should have a crown!
