Jim Jones - Bob Dylan [00:00:02]

Come and listen for a moment lads[00:00:04]

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

How across the sea from England[00:00:09]

I was condemned to sail[00:00:13]

Now the jury found me guilty[00:00:17]

Then says the judge says he[00:00:21]

"Oh for life Jim Jones I'm sending you[00:00:25]

Across the stormy sea[00:00:30]

But take a tip before you ship[00:00:33]

To join the iron gang[00:00:39]

Don't get too gay in Botany Bay[00:00:42]

Or else you'll surely hang[00:00:47]

Or else you'll surely hang" says he[00:00:50]

"And after that Jim Jones[00:00:54]

It's high above on the gallows tree[00:00:57]

The crows will pick your bones" [00:01:01]

And our ship was high upon the sea[00:01:15]

When pirates came along[00:01:19]

But the soldiers on our convict ship[00:01:21]

Were full five hundred strong[00:01:26]

For they opened fire and somehow drove[00:01:30]

That pirate ship away[00:01:33]

But I'd rather have joined that pirate ship[00:01:35]

Than gone to Botany Bay[00:01:41]

With the storms ragin' round us[00:01:45]

And the winds a blowin' gale[00:01:49]

I'd rather have drowned in misery[00:01:52]

Than gone to New South Wales[00:01:57]

There's no time for mischief there they say[00:02:01]

Remember that says they[00:02:05]

Or they'll flog the poaching out of you[00:02:07]

Down there in Botany Bay [00:02:12]

Now it's day and night and the irons clang[00:02:24]

And like poor galley slaves[00:02:29]

We toil and toil and when we die[00:02:32]

Must fill dishonored graves[00:02:37]

And it's by and by I'll slip my chains[00:02:39]

Well into the bush I'll go[00:02:44]

And I'll join the bravest rankers there[00:02:47]

Jack Donohue and co[00:02:51]

And some dark night when everything[00:02:53]

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

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

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

Oh I'll give the land a little shock[00:03:08]

Remember what I say[00:03:13]

They'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones[00:03:15]

In chains to Botany Bay[00:03:20]
