Moreton Bay |
I am a native of the land of Erin |
That was early banished from my native shore |
On the ship Columbus went circular sailing |
And I left behind me the girl I adore |
On the bounding billows that were loudly raging |
Bold sea mariners our course did steer |
We were bound for Sydney our destination |
And every day cold irons wore |
O Moreton Bay you’ll find no equal |
Norfolk Island and Emu Plains |
At Castle Hill and cursed Toongabbie |
And all Time Places in New South Wales |
When I arrived it was in Port Jackson |
And I thought my days would happy be |
I soon found out I was greatly mistaken |
I was taken as prisoner to Moreton Bay |
For three long years I was beastly treated |
And heavy Irons on my legs I wore |
My back from flogging it was lacerated |
And of-times painted with crimson gore |
Like the Egyptians and the ancient Hebrews |
We were oppressed under Logan’s yoke |
Till a native Black there he lay in ambush |
And he gave the tyrant a mortal stroke |
Now fellow prisoners be exhilarated |
That all such monsters such a death may find |
And when from bondage we are liberated |
Our former suffering shall fade from mind |
