Come and listen for a moment lads |
| [00:07.930] |
And hear me tell my tale |
| [00:11.120] |
How across the sea from England |
| [00:14.800] |
I was condemned to sail |
| [00:18.820] |
Now the jury found me guilty |
| [00:22.320] |
Then says the judge says he |
| [00:26.620] |
"Oh for life Jim Jones I'm sending you |
| [00:31.400] |
Across the stormy sea |
| [00:33.750] |
But take a tip before you ship |
| [00:40.780] |
To join the iron gang |
| [00:43.770] |
Don't get too gay in Botany Bay |
| [00:48.450] |
Or else you'll surely hang |
| [00:51.370] |
Or else you'll surely hang" says he |
| [00:55.880] |
"And after that Jim Jones |
| [00:58.560] |
It's high above on the gallows tree |
| [01:02.690] |
The crows will pick your bones" |
| [01:05.940] |
And our ship was high upon the sea |
| [01:20.340] |
When pirates came along |
| [01:22.040] |
But the soldiers on our convict ship |
| [01:27.770] |
Were full five hundred strong |
| [01:31.570] |
For they opened fire and somehow drove |
| [01:34.690] |
That pirate ship away |
| [01:36.810] |
But I'd rather have joined that pirate ship |
| [01:42.380] |
Than gone to Botany Bay |
| [01:44.520] |
With the storms ragin' round us |
| [01:50.760] |
And the winds a-blowin' gale |
| [01:53.940] |
I'd rather have drowned in misery |
| [01:58.810] |
Than gone to New South Wales |
| [02:02.240] |
There's no time for mischief there they say |
| [02:06.290] |
Remember that says they |
| [02:09.170] |
Or they'll flog the poaching out of you |
| [02:14.100] |
Down there in Botany Bay |
| [02:16.650] |
Now it's day and night and the irons clang |
| [02:30.700] |
And like poor galley slaves |
| [02:33.750] |
We toil and toil and when we die |
| [02:38.240] |
Must fill dishonored graves |
| [02:40.550] |
And it's by and by I'll slip my chains |
| [02:45.230] |
Well into the bush I'll go |
| [02:48.230] |
And I'll join the bravest rankers there |
| [02:52.440] |
Jack Donohue and co |
| [02:54.500] |
And some dark night when everything |
| [02:59.180] |
Is silent in the town |
| [03:01.920] |
I'll shoot those tyrants one and all |
| [03:06.790] |
I'll gun the floggers down |
| [03:09.410] |
Oh I'll give the land a little shock |
| [03:14.300] |
Remember what I say |
| [03:16.920] |
They'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones |
| [03:22.040] |
In chains to Botany Bay |
