marc gunn - wild colonial boy lyrics

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 father’s only son
his mother’s 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 shore
he was inclined to roam
he helped the poor, he robbed the rich
their crops he would destroy
a terror to australia was
the wild colonial boy

for two long years this daring youth
ran on his wild career
with a heart that knew no danger
and a soul that felt no fear
he held the beechwood coach up
and he robbed judge mcevoy
who, trembling, gave his gold up
to the wild colonial boy
he bade the judge “good morning”
and he told him to beware
for he never robbed an honest judge
who acted ‘on the square”
“yet you would rob a mother
of her only pride and joy
and breed a race of outlaws like
the wild colonial boy”

one morning on the prairie
while jack duggan rode along
while listening to the mocking bird
a+singing out his song
out jumped three troopers fierce and grim
kelly, davis and fitzroy
were detailed for to capture him
the wild colonial boy

“surrender now, jack duggan
you can see we’re three to one
surrender in our queen’s name
for you are a plundering son”
jack drew two pistols from his belt
and glared upon fitzroy
“i’ll fight, but not surrender,”
cried the wild colonial boy
he fired a shot at kelly
and he brought him to the ground
he fired a shot at davis too
who fell dead at the sound
but a bullet pierced his brave young heart
from the pistol of fitzroy
and that was how they captured him
the wild colonial boy
