The Wild Colonial Boy 歌詞

 

Wild Colonial Boy - The Hit Co.

There was a Wild Colonial Boy,

Jack Duggan was his name,

 

He was born and reared in Ireland,

In a place called Castlemaine,

 

He was his father's only son,

And his mother's pride and joy,

 

And dearly did his parents love

The Wild Colonial Boy.

 

At the early age of sixteen years,

He left his native home;

 

And to Australia's sunny land

He was inclined to roam.

 

He robbed the rich, and he helped the poor

He stabbed James MacEvoy.

 

A terror to Australia was

The Wild Colonial Boy.

 

For two more years this daring youth

Ran on his wild career,

 

With a head that knew no danger

 

And a heart that knew no fear.

 

He robbed outright the wealthy squires,

 

And their arms he did destroy;

 

And woe to all who dared to fight

The Wild Colonial Boy.

 

One morning on the prairie wild,

Jack Duggan rode along,

 

While listening to the mocking bird

Singing a cheerful song,

 

Out jumped three troopers, fierce and grim,

Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy:

 

They all set out to capture him,

The Wild Colonial boy.

 

Surrender now, Jack Duggan,

For you see there's three to one!

 

Surrender in the Queen's name, Sir,

You are a plundering son!

 

Jack drew two pistols from his side,

 

And glared upon Fitzroy;

 

"I'll fight, but not surrender!" cried

The Wild Colonial Boy.

 

He fired a shot at Kelly

 

Which brought him to the ground,

 

He fired point blank at Davis, too

 

Who fell dead at the sound,

 

But a bullet pierced his brave young heart

From the pistol of Fitzroy;

 

And that was how they captured him,

The Wild Colonial Boy.

 

And that was how they captured him,

 

The Wild Colonial Boy.
