I knew a wild colonial boy Jack Doolan was his name
DO7 DOOf poor but honest parents he was born in Castlemaine
DO SOL7 DOhe was his fathers favourite son , his mother hope and joy
The pride of both his parents was the wild colonial boy
At barely sixteen years of age he left his fathers house
DO7 DOBushranging to the sunny south, Australia, he set out
DO FA SOL7 DOHe robbed the wiry squatters, their stocks he did destroy
A terror to Australia was the wild colonial boy
In sixty one this daring youth commenced his wild career
DO7 SOL7 DOWith a heart that knew no danger no foeman did he fear
DO FA SOL7 DOHe held the Beechworth mail-coach up and robbed Judge MacE voy
Who trembled and gave up his gold to the wild colonial boy
He bade the Judge good morning and told him to beware
DO7 SOL7 DOThat he'd never rob a hearty chap who acted on the square
DO DO7 FA SOL7 DOAnd never you rob a mother of her son and only joy
Or else he may turn outlaw like the wild colonial boy
One day along the mountainside , Jack nimbly rode along
DO7 SOL7 DOListening to the little birds, sing their merry little song
DO DO7 SOL7 DOUp rode three mounted troopers, Kelly Davis and Fitzroy
And cowardly tried to capture the Wild Colonial Boy
Surrender now Jack Doolin for you see its three to one
DO7 SOL7 DOSurrender in the Queens good name, you daring highway man
DO FA SOL7 DOJack drew a pistol from his side and waved the lively toy
"I'll shoot but not surrender" cried the Wild Colonial Boy"
He fired at trooper kelly and he brought him to the ground
FA SOL7 DOAnd on return from Davis re ceived his mortal wound
FA SOL7 DOAll tattered in his crimson gore was finished by fitzroy
How cowardly they captured him the wild colonial boy
(this has a wierd C7 that ive forgotten in any case it was an
old convict song. If you were caught even whistling it you were
probably shot for 'trying to escape' or thrown in solitary for and extended
period..)
