Listen for a moment lads and hear me tell my tale |
| [00:20.490] |
How o'er the sea from England's shore I was condemned to sail |
| [00:28.490] |
The jury found he guilty sir and the hanging judge says he |
| [00:37.490] |
For life Jim Jones I'm sending you across the stormy sea |
| [00:47.490] |
And take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang |
| [00:56.490] |
Dont be too gay at Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang |
| [01:05.490] |
Or else you'll surely hang says he and after that Jim Jones |
| [01:12.490] |
High up upon the gallows tree the crows will pick your bones |
| [01:30.490] |
Have no chance for mischief there remember what I say |
| [01:40.490] |
They'll flog the poaching out of you |
| [01:44.490] |
out there at Botany Bay |
| [01:49.490] |
The waves were high upon the sea the wind blew up in gales |
| [01:56.490] |
I'd rather have drowned in misery than come to New South Wales |
| [02:07.490] |
The winds blew high upon the sea and the pirates came along |
| [02:16.490] |
But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong |
| [02:25.490] |
They opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away |
| [02:33.490] |
I'd rather joined that pirate ship than come to Botany Bay |
| [02:50.490] |
For day and night the irons clang and like poor galley slaves |
| [03:00.000] |
We toil and toil and when we die must fill dishonoured graves |
| [03:07.490] |
But bye and bye I'll break my chains into the bush I'll go |
| [03:26.490] |
And one night that when everything is silent in this town |
| [03:35.000] |
I'll kill the best one by one and shoot the floggers down |
| [03:40.490] |
I'll give them all a little shock remember what I say |
| [03:52.490] |
They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay |
