Wild Colonial Boy - Damien Leith

作曲：Traditional

There was a wild colonial boy

Jack Doolan was his name

He was born and raised in Ireland

In a place call 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

Jack left his native home

And to Australia's sunny shore

He was inclined to roam

He robbed the rich 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

And listening to the mockingbird

Singing a cheerful song

Up king my 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

For you're a plundering son

Jack pulled two pistols from his belt

And proudly waved them high

I'll fight but not surrender said

The wild colonial boy

He fired a shot at Kelly

Which leading to the ground

And turning round to Davis

You received a fatal wound

A bullet pierced his fist young heart

From the pistol of Fitzroy

That was how they captured him

Wild colonial boy

Wild colonial boy

Wild colonial boy
