lirik lagu tommy makem – botany bay
chorus:
farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your
dirty lime
farewell to your gangers and gangplanks and to h-ll with
your overtime
for the good ship raggam-ffin is lying at the quay
for to take old pat, with a shovel on his back
to the sh-r-s of botany bay
i’m on my way down to the quay, where the ship and anchor
lay
to command a gang of navvies that they told me to engage
i thought i would stop in for awhile before i went away
for to take a trip on an emigrant ship to the sh-r-s of
botany bay
the boss comes up this morning and he says to me ‘h-llo
if you don’t mix your mortar right, i’m afraid you’ll
have to go’
well, since he did insult me, i demanded all my pay
and i told him straight i was going to emigrate to the
sh-r-s of botany bay
and when i reach australia, i’ll go and dig for gold
there’s plenty there for the digging up or so i have been
told
or else i’ll go back to my trade and a hundred bricks
i’ll lay
eight bob i’ll lift for an eight hour shift on the sh-r-s
of botany bay
