The Wild Colonial Boy Lyrics

The Wild Colonnial Boy - Sound-A-Like As Made Famous By Irish Standard - ProSource Karaoke (专业卡拉ok)

Oh come on

All you hearties

And we'll roam

The mountains wide

 

Together we

Will plunder

And together

We will die

We'll ramble o'er

The valleys

We'll gallop

O'er the plains

 

We'll scorn

To live in slavery

Bound down

In iron chains

 

There was a wild

Colonial boy

Jack Duggan

Was his name

 

He was born and

Raised in Ireland

In a place

Called Castlemaine

 

He was his

Father's only son

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 shores

He was

Inclined to roam

He robbed the rich

He helped the poor

He shot

James MacEvoy

 

Who trembled and

Gave up his

Gold to the

Wild colonial boy

 

It was in the year

Of eighty-one he

Commenced his

Wild career

 

With a heart that

Knew no danger

No foe-man

Did he fear

 

He held up the

Wealthy squatters

And their stock

He did destroy

 

A terror to Australia

Was the

Wild colonial boy

 

And on and

On the prairie

While Jackie

Rode along

 

And he was listening

To the mocking bird

And he was singing

A cheerful song

 

Accept the band

Of troupers

Kelly Davis

And Fitzroy

 

They all set out

To capture him

The wild

Colonial boy

Surrender now

Jack Duggan

For you see we're

Three to one

 

Now surrender in

The Queen's high name

You are the

Blundering son

 

Jack drew two pistols

From his belt and

He proudly waved

Them high

 

I'll fight but

Not surrender

Said the

Wild colonial boy

Well he fired at

Trouper Kelly

And brought him

To the ground

 

And turning round

To Davis he

Received a fatal wound

 

A bullet pierced

His brave young heart

From the pistols

Of Fitzroy

 

And that was

How they

Captured him

The wild

Colonial boy

 

And that was

How they

Captured him

The wild

 

Colonial boy
