The Shannon Singers - Wild Colonial Boy текст песни

Исполнитель: The Shannon Singers

альбом: When Irish Eyes Are Smiling


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 their Wild Colonial Boy.
At the early age of 16 years, he left his native home.
And to Australia's sunny shores he was inclined to roam.
He robbed the rich he helped the poor he stabbed James McEvoy.
A terror to Australia was the Wild Colonial Boy.
One morning on the prairie, as Jack, he rode along.
Listening to thee mockingbirds, sing their mocking song.
Out jumped three troopers from the bush: Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy.
And they 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 are a plundering son."
Jack drew two pistols from his belt and proudly waved them high.
"I'll fight but not surrender!" cried the Wild Colonial Boy.
He fired a shot at Kelly then, which brought him to the ground.
He fired a shot at Davis too who felt dead at the sound.
But a bullet pierced his brave young heart from the pistol of Fitzroy.
And that was how they captured him the Wild Colonial Boy.
