Wild Colonial Boy |
There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name |
He was born and raised in Ireland in a place called Castle Maine |
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, Jack 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 McEvoy |
A terror to Australia wsa, the wild colonial boy |
One morning on the prarie, as Jack he rode along |
And listening to the mosckingbird, sing it’s joyful song |
Up came a band of troopers, Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy |
They’d all set out to capture him, the wild colonial boy |
«Surrender now Jack Duggan for you see we’re three to one» |
«Surrender in the Queen’s high name for you are a plundering son» |
Jack drew two pistols from his belt and proudly waved them high |
«I'll fight but not surrender!» |
said the wild colonial boy |
He fired a shot at Kelly, which laid him to the groud |
And turning 'round to Davis he received a fatal wound |
A bullet pierced the fierce young heart from the pistol of Fitzroy |
And that was how they captured him the wild colonial boy |
