《Jim Jones》歌词

[00:00:01] Come and listen for a moment lads

[00:00:06] And hear me tell my tale

[00:00:08] How across the sea from England

[00:00:12] I was condemned to sail

[00:00:16] Will the jury found me guilty

[00:00:20] Then says the judge says he

[00:00:23] "Oh for life Jim Jones I'm sending you

[00:00:28] Across the stormy sea

[00:00:31] But take a tip before you ship

[00:00:35] To join the iron gang

[00:00:38] Don't get too gay in Botany Bay

[00:00:42] Or else you'll surely hang

[00:00:46] Or else you'll surely hang " says he

[00:00:51] "And after that Jim Jones

[00:00:54] It's high above on the gallows tree

[00:00:58] The crows will pick your bones "

[00:01:10] Will our ship was high upon the sea

[00:01:15] When pirates came along

[00:01:18] But the soldiers on our convict ship

[00:01:22] Were full five hundred strong

[00:01:25] For they opened fire and somehow drove

[00:01:30] That pirate ship away

[00:01:32] But I'd rather have joined that pirate ship

[00:01:37] Tan gone to Botany Bay

[00:01:41] With the storms ragin' round us

[00:01:44] And the winds a-blowin' gale

[00:01:49] I'd rather have drowned in misery

[00:01:53] Than gone to New South Wales

[00:02:21] Well it's day and night and the irons clang

[00:02:27] And like poor galley slaves

[00:02:29] We toil and toil and when we die

[00:02:34] Must fill dishonored graves

[00:02:37] And it's by and by I'll slip my chains

[00:02:42] I turned the bush I'll go

[00:02:45] And I'll join the bravest rankers there

[00:02:49] Jack Donohue you and go

[00:02:54] And some dark night when everything

[00:02:57] Is silent in the town

[00:03:01] I'll shoot those tyrants one and all

[00:03:05] I'll gun the flogger down

[00:03:10] Oh I'll give the land a little shock

[00:03:14] Remember what I say

[00:03:17] And they'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones

[00:03:21] In chains to Botany Bay
