[00:09.99]Oh, listen for a moment, lads, and hear me tell me tale[00:16.77]How o'er the sea from England's shore I was obliged to sail[00:23.55]The jury says: “He's guilty, sir,” and says the judge, says he:[00:30.99]“For life, Jim Jones, I'm sending you across the stormy sea[00:42.27]And take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang[00:49.05]Don't be too gay at Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang[00:54.69]Or else you'll surely hang,“ says he, “and after that, Jim Jones[01:03.87]High upon the gallows tree the crows will pick your bones[01:10.17]You'll have no chance for mischief then, remember what I say:[01:16.71]They'll flog the poaching out of you down there at Botany Bay.”[01:26.70]The wind blew high upon the sea and the pirates come along[01:33.12]But the soldiers in our convict ship was nigh five hundred strong[01:40.38]They opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away[01:46.53]I'd rather have joined the skull-and-bones than go to Botany Bay[01:56.40]Now night and day the irons clang, and like poor galley-slaves[02:03.57]We toil and strive and when we die, we fill dishonoured graces[02:10.80]But by and by I'll break me chains and to the bush I'll go[02:17.61]And join the brave bushrangers there like Donahue and Co[02:27.66]And some dark night when everything is silent in the town[02:34.74]I'll kill them tyrants one by one and shoot the floggers down[02:41.82]I'll give the law a little shock, remember what I say[02:48.27]They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay
