lirik lagu smoky dawson - the wild colonial boy
’tis of a wild colonial boy, jack doolan was his name
of poor but honest parents he was born in castlemaine
he was his father’s only hope, his mother’s pride and joy
and dearly did his parents love their wild colonial boy
he was sixteen years of age when he left his father’s home
and through australia’s sunny clime, a bushranger did roam
he robbed those wealthy squatters, their stock he did destroy
and a terror to australia was the wild colonial boy
oh come, all my hearties, we’ll roam the mountains high
together we will plunder, together we will die
we’ll wander over valleys, and gallop over plains
and scorn to live in slavery, bowed down with iron chains
in ’61 this daring youth commenced his wild career
with a heart that knew no danger, no foeman did he fear
he stuck up the beechworth mail~coach, and robbed judge macevoy
who trembled, and gave up his gold to the wild colonial boy
he bade the judge, “good morning,” and told him to beware
that he’d never rob a hearty chap that acted on the square
and never to rob a mother of her son and only joy
or else you may turn outlaw, like the wild colonial boy
one day as he was riding the mountain~side along
a~listening to the little birds, their pleasant laughing song
three mounted troopers rode along, kelly, davis, and fitzroy
they thought that they would capture him, the wild colonial boy
“surrender now, jack doolan, you see there’s three to one
“surrender now, jack doolan, you daring highwayman”
he drew a pistol from his belt, and he fired the wicked toy
“i’ll fight, but i won’t surrender,” said the wild colonial boy
he fired at trooper kelly, and brought him to the ground
and in return, from davis received a mortal wound
all shattered through the jaws he lay, still firing at fitzroy
and that’s the way they captured him, the wild colonial boy
oh come, all my hearties, we’ll roam the mountains high
together we will plunder, together we will die
we’ll wander over valleys, and gallop over plains
and scorn to live in slavery, bowed down with iron chains
and that’s the way they captured him, the wild colonial boy
