Moreton Bay (摩顿湾) - Paul Costa[00:00:00]

One Sunday morning as I was walking[00:00:13]

By Brisbane Waters I chance to stray[00:00:17]

I heard a convict his fait bewhaling[00:00:23]

As on the sunny riverbank he lay[00:00:28]

I am a native of Erin Ireland[00:00:34]

But banished now from my native shore[00:00:39]

They stole me from my independence[00:00:44]

And from the maiden whom I do adore[00:00:49]

I've been a prisoner at Port Macquarie[00:00:55]

At Norfolk Island and Emu Plains[00:01:00]

At Castle Ule and Curstune Garbby[00:01:05]

At all these settlements I've been enchained[00:01:10]

But of all places of condemnation[00:01:16]

And penal stations in New South Wales[00:01:21]

To Moreton Bay I have found no equal[00:01:26]

Excessive tyranny each day prevails[00:01:31]

For three long years I was beastly treated[00:01:37]

And heavy irons on my legs I wore[00:01:42]

My back from flogging was lacerated[00:01:48]

And oft times covered in my crimson gore[00:01:52]

And many a man from down right starvation[00:01:58]

Lies smouldering now beneath the cave[00:02:03]

And Captain Logan he had us mangled[00:02:09]

On the triangles of Moreton Bay[00:02:14]

Like the Egyptians and ancient Hebrews[00:02:20]

We were oppressed under Logan's yoh[00:02:25]

Till a native black lying bare and ambush[00:02:30]

Did deal out tyrant with his mortal stroke[00:02:35]

My fellow prisoners be exhilerated[00:02:41]

Let all such monsters like death shall find[00:02:46]

And when from bondage we're extricated[00:02:51]

Our former suffering shall will fade from mind[00:02:56]

One Sunday morning as I was walking[00:03:02]

By Brisbane Waters I chance to stray[00:03:07]

I heard a convict his fait bewhaling[00:03:12]

As on the sunny riverbank he lay[00:03:17]
