The Wild Colonial Boy - The Clancy Brothers Tommy Makem

There was a wild colonial boy

Jack Duggan was his name

He was born and raised in Ireland

In a place called Castlemaine

He was his father's only son

His mother's pride and joy

And dearly did his parents love

The wild colonial boy

At the early age of sixteen years

He left his native home

And to Australia's sunny shore

He was inclined to roam

He robbed the rich

He helped the poor

He shot James mcavoy

A terror to Australia was

The wild colonial boy

One morning on the prairie

As Jack he rode along

A listening to the mockingbird

A singing a cheerful song

Out stepped a band of troopers

Kelly Davis and Fitzroy

They all set out to capture him

The wild colonial boy

Surrender now Jack Duggan for you

See we're three to one

Surrender in the Queen's high name

You're the plundering son

Jack pulled two pistols from his belt

He proudly waved them high

I'll fight but not surrender said

The wild colonial boy

He fired a shot at Kelly

Which brought him to the ground

And turning 'round to Davis

He received a fatal wound

A bullet pierced his proud young heart

From the pistol of Fitzroy

And that was how they captured him

The wild colonial boy
