时长: 04:08
Come and listen for a moment lads [00:00:01]
And hear me tell my tale [00:00:06]
How across the sea from England[00:00:08]
I was condemned to sail [00:00:12]
Will the jury found me guilty [00:00:16]
Then says the judge says he [00:00:20]
"Oh for life Jim Jones I'm sending you[00:00:23]
Across the stormy sea [00:00:28]
But take a tip before you ship[00:00:31]
To join the iron gang [00:00:35]
Don't get too gay in Botany Bay [00:00:38]
Or else you'll surely hang [00:00:42]
Or else you'll surely hang " says he [00:00:46]
"And after that Jim Jones [00:00:51]
It's high above on the gallows tree[00:00:54]
The crows will pick your bones "[00:00:58]
Will our ship was high upon the sea[00:01:10]
When pirates came along [00:01:15]
But the soldiers on our convict ship[00:01:18]
Were full five hundred strong [00:01:22]
For they opened fire and somehow drove[00:01:25]
That pirate ship away [00:01:30]
But I'd rather have joined that pirate ship[00:01:32]
Tan gone to Botany Bay [00:01:37]
With the storms ragin' round us [00:01:41]
And the winds a-blowin' gale [00:01:44]
I'd rather have drowned in misery[00:01:49]
Than gone to New South Wales [00:01:53]
Well it's day and night and the irons clang [00:02:21]
And like poor galley slaves[00:02:27]
We toil and toil and when we die[00:02:29]
Must fill dishonored graves [00:02:34]
And it's by and by I'll slip my chains [00:02:37]
I turned the bush I'll go[00:02:42]
And I'll join the bravest rankers there [00:02:45]
Jack Donohue you and go [00:02:49]
And some dark night when everything[00:02:54]
Is silent in the town[00:02:57]
I'll shoot those tyrants one and all [00:03:01]
I'll gun the flogger down [00:03:05]
Oh I'll give the land a little shock [00:03:10]
Remember what I say [00:03:14]
And they'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones[00:03:17]
In chains to Botany Bay[00:03:21]
