| The Wild Colonial Boy 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 fathers only son, his mothers pride and joy And dearly did his parents love the wild colonial boy At the early age of sixteen 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 shot James McAvoy A terror to Australia was the wild colonial boy One morning on the prairie as Jack he rode along A - listening to the mocking bird a - singing a cheerful song Out stepped a band of troopers, Kelly, Davies and Fitzroy They all set out to capture him, the wild colonial boy Chorus Surrender now, Jack Duggan for you see you’re three to one Surrender in the Kings high name for you're a plundering son Jack drew two pistols from his belt and proudly waved them high I’ll fight but not surrender said the wild colonial boy Chorus He fired a shot at Kelly which brought him to the ground And turnin' round to Davies he recieved a fatal wound A bullet pierced his proud young heart from the pistol of Fitzroy And that is how they captured him the wild colonial boy Chorus |
