Moreton Bay - Bernard Fanning[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:00]

One Sunday morning as I went walking[00:00:06]

By Brisbane waters I chanced to stray[00:00:11]

I heard a prisoner his fate bewailing[00:00:16]

As on the sunny river bank he lay[00:00:21]

I am a native from Erin's island[00:00:25]

Transported now from my native shore[00:00:29]

They tore me from my aged parents[00:00:35]

And from the maiden whom I adore[00:00:40]

I've been a prisoner at Port Macquarie[00:00:46]

At Norfolk Island and emu plains[00:00:51]

At castle hill and cursed Toongabbie[00:00:55]

At all those settlements I've woked in chains[00:01:00]

But of all places of condemnation[00:01:05]

And penal stations of new south wales[00:01:09]

Of Moreton bay I have found no equal[00:01:14]

Excessive tyranny each day prevails[00:01:18]

For three long years I was beastly treated[00:01:25]

And heavy irons on my legs I wore[00:01:30]

My back from flogging was lacerated[00:01:34]

And often slain with my crimson gore[00:01:39]

And many a man from downright starvation[00:01:43]

Lies mouldering underneath the clay[00:01:48]

And captain logan he had us mangled[00:01:53]

At the triangles in Moreton Bay[00:01:57]

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

We were oppressed under Logan's yoke[00:02:06]

Till a native black lying there in ambush[00:02:11]

Did give our tyrant his mortal stroke[00:02:15]

My fellow prisoners exhilarated[00:02:20]

That all such monsters a death shall find[00:02:24]

And when from bondage we're liberated[00:02:29]

Our former sufferings shall fade from mind[00:02:33]
