lirik lagu wolfe tones - botany bay
farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lies
farewell to your gangers and gang planks
and to h-ll with your overtime
for the good ship ragam-ffin, she’s lying at the quay
for to take oul 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 at anchor lays
to command a gang of navvys, that they told me to engage
i thought i’d drop in for a drink before i went away
for to take a trip on an emigrant ship to the sh-r-s of botany bay,
to the sh-r-s of botany bay
farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lies
farewell to your gangers and gang planks
and to h-ll with your overtime
for the good ship ragam-ffin, she’s lying at the quay
for to take oul pat with a shovel on his back
to the sh-r-s of botany bay
the boss came up this morning, he says “well, pat you know
if you don’t get your navvys out, i’m afraid you’ll have to go”
so i asked him for my wages and demanded all my pay
for i told him straight, i’m going to emigrate to the sh-r-s of botany bay
farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lies
farewell to your gangers and gang planks
and to h-ll with your overtime
for the good ship ragam-ffin, she’s lying at the quay
for to take oul pat with a shovel on his back
to the sh-r-s of botany bay
and when i reach australia i’ll go and look for gold
there’s plenty there for the digging of, or so i have been told
or else i’ll go back to my trade and a hundred bricks i’ll lay
because i live for an eight hour shift on the sh-r-s of botany bay,
farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lies
farewell to your gangers and gang planks
and to h-ll with your overtime
for the good ship ragam-ffin, she’s lying at the quay
for to take oul pat with a shovel on his back
to the sh-r-s of botany bay
