《The Wild Colonial Boy》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wild Colonial Boy - The Houghton Weavers

[00:00:08] There was a wild colonial boy

[00:00:12] Jack Duggan was his name

[00:00:16] He was born and raised in Ireland

[00:00:21] In a place called Castlemaine

[00:00:25] He was his father's only son

[00:00:29] His mother's pride and joy

[00:00:34] And dearly did his parents love

[00:00:38] The wild colonial boy

[00:00:42] At the early age of sixteen years

[00:00:47] He left his native home

[00:00:51] And to Australia's sunny shore

[00:00:55] He was inclined to roam

[00:01:00] He robbed the rich he helped the poor

[00:01:04] He shot James MacEvoy

[00:01:08] A terror to Australia was

[00:01:13] The wild colonial boy

[00:01:17] One morning on the prairie

[00:01:21] As Jack he rode along

[00:01:25] A-listening to the mocking bird

[00:01:30] A-singing a cheerful song

[00:01:34] Up stepped a band of troopers:

[00:01:38] Kelly Davis and Fitzroy

[00:01:43] They all set out to capture him

[00:01:47] The wild colonial boy

[00:01:51] Surrender now Jack Duggan

[00:01:55] For you see we're three to one

[00:02:00] Surrender in the Queen's high name

[00:02:05] You are a plundering son

[00:02:09] Jack drew two pistols from his belt

[00:02:13] He proudly waved them high

[00:02:17] I'll fight but not surrender

[00:02:21] Said the wild colonial boy

[00:02:26] Jack fired a shot at Kelly

[00:02:30] Which brought him to the ground

[00:02:35] And turning round to Davis

[00:02:38] He received a fatal wound

[00:02:44] A bullet pierced his proud young heart

[00:02:48] From the pistol of Fitzroy

[00:02:52] And that was how they captured him

[00:02:57] The wild colonial boy
