歌词

[00:00.00] 作词 : Traditional
[00:06.32] Oh come listen for a moment lads and hear me tell my tale
[00:13.75] How o'er the seas from England I was condemned to sail
[00:20.65] The jury found me guilty And says the judge, says he:
[00:26.21] "Oh, for life, Jim Jones, I'm sending you across the raging sea
[00:34.25] And take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang:
[00:41.69] Don't get too gay on Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang
[00:49.31] Or else you'll hang," he says, says he, "And after that Jim Jones
[00:55.79] It is high upon the gallows tree The crows will pick your bones
[01:03.30] You'll have no chance for mischief there, remember what I say:
[01:10.59] They'll flog the poaching out of you out there on Botany Bay
[01:18.50] Let the wind fly in torrents and the wind blow up in gales:
[01:24.48] Oh I'd rather die in misery than go to New South Wales
[01:33.13] Well, the sea it flew in torrents and the pirates came along
[01:40.69] But the soldiers all on board our ship, they were full five hundred strong
[01:48.99] They opened fire and soon they drove that pirate ship away
[01:55.01] Oh I'd rather have gone on a pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay
[02:03.69] Where day and night the irons clang and like poor galley slaves
[02:11.49] We toil and toil and when we die we fill dishonoured graves
[02:19.79] But by and by I'll break my chains and into the bush I'll go
[02:26.38] And I'll join the brave bushrangers there, Jack Donahue and Co
[02:35.05] And one dark night when everything is silent in the town
[02:42.80] I'll kill the tyrants one by one and I'll shoot the floggers down
[02:51.17] I'll give the law one little shock; remember what I say:
[02:57.25] Oh they'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay
