A Tale They Won't Believe (Live) - Weddings Parties Anything[00:00:00]

We left Macquarie Harbour it was in the pouring rain[00:00:36]

None of us quite sure if we would see England again[00:00:39]

Some fool muttered death or liberty[00:00:43]

There was six of us together a jolly hungry crew[00:00:46]

And as the days went by you know our hunger quickly grew[00:00:50]

Some fool muttered death or liberty[00:00:53]

So that night we made fires out of twigs and out of bark[00:00:56]

And our stomachs they were grumbling all through the night so dark[00:01:00]

We were only trying to keep ourselves alive[00:01:04]

But when the sun came up next morning well the six had turned to five[00:01:07]

And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown [00:01:11]

Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe [00:01:14]

When I get down to Hobart town[00:01:17]

All five of us were nervous and I'll tell you that’s a fact[00:01:27]

Bu you should have seen the bastard who was carrying the axe[00:01:30]

He was a sick man he had murder in his heart[00:01:33]

And then we reached the Franklin River and it took two days to cross[00:01:36]

We were wet and almost starvin’ and for food were at a loss[00:01:40]

We were hungry men with murder on our minds [00:01:43]

So that night we made a fire out of twigs and out of bark[00:01:47]

And our stomachs they were rumbling all through the night so dark [00:01:50]

And they were making noises the dead could not ignore[00:01:54]

And when the sun came up next morning [00:01:58]

The five had turned to four [00:01:59]

And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown [00:02:01]

Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe [00:02:03]

When I get down to Hobart town[00:02:08]

Well the four of us kept marching to a place called Western Teirs[00:02:16]

A country full of tasty game but for us it held no cheer[00:02:20]

We had no guns we were traveling without hope [00:02:23]

But the axe it loomed so ominous and God's hand was at play[00:02:27]

A sick man is a type of game which can not run away[00:02:31]

So stay easy my poor man your time's at hand [00:02:34]

So that night we made fires out of twigs and out of bark[00:02:37]

And our stomachs they were grumbling all through the night so dark[00:02:41]

I can't say I feel guilty after all it wasn't me[00:02:45]

But when the sun came up next morning the four had turned to three[00:02:48]

And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown [00:02:52]

Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe [00:02:54]

When I get down to Hobart town[00:02:58]

Well the three of us kept moving but one was fading fast[00:03:07]

He had been bitten by a snake and you could see he would not last[00:03:10]

Stay easy my good man your time is at hand[00:03:14]

And when he could last no longer his days were fading fast[00:03:17]

We were far to weak to carry him subsistency comes first[00:03:21]

Stay easy my good man your time is at hand[00:03:25]

So that night we made fires out of twigs and out of bark[00:03:28]

And our stomachs they were grumbling all through the night so dark[00:03:32]

It was a messy job but it was one we had to do[00:03:35]

But when the sun came up next morning the three had turned to two[00:03:38]

And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown [00:03:42]

Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe [00:03:44]

When I get down to Hobart town[00:03:49]

Now he had been looking at me funny sort of eyeing me for days [00:03:56]

And you would not need to be too bright to know that bastard’s ways:[00:04:01]

He was a sick man he had murder in his heart [00:04:04]

But even bastards have to rest and even bastards have to sleep [00:04:07]

And when he was in the land of Nod straight over I did creep [00:04:12]

And the axe that he had wielded now was mine [00:04:15]

So that night I made the fire out of twigs and out of bark [00:04:19]

And my stomach it kept rumbling all through the night so dark [00:04:22]

I can’t say that I enjoyed it and it wasn’t exactly fun [00:04:26]

But when the sun came up next morning the two had turned to one [00:04:30]

And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown [00:04:33]

Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe [00:04:35]

When I get down to Hobart town[00:04:40]

Well now history is a pack of lies as any fool can tell [00:07:02]

So when I got down to Hobart town I told my story well [00:07:07]

But do you think they would believe one word I said [00:07:13]

For they thought that I was covering for my mates still at large [00:07:20]

Said they’d be roaming in the bush so wild and free [00:07:26]

And back to old Macquarie Harbour they sent me[00:07:32]

But I remember the fires made out of twigs and made of bark[00:07:42]

And my stomach it was grumbling all through the night so dark[00:07:46]

And this young fool he just said to me it's liberty or death[00:07:49]

And he looked a rather tasty one I just could not help it singing[00:07:53]

And I said right there’s another one don’t you frown [00:07:56]

Chew the meat and hold it down It’s a tale they won’t believe[00:07:58]

When I get down to I get down to I get down to Hobart town[00:08:04]
