wickety wak - wild colonial boy lyrics

[verse 1]
there was a wild colonial boy, jack doolan was his name
of poor but honest parents, he was born near castlemaine
he was his father’s only son, his mother’s pride and joy
so dearly did his parents love their wild colonial boy

[verse 2]
barely sixteen years of age, he first began to roam
and found australia’s sunny shore and he called it his true home
he robbed the wealthy squatters, their assets to destroy
a terror to the rich ones was the wild colonial boy

[verse 3]
back in 1861, began his wild career
with a head that knew no dangеr and a heart that felt no fear
hе held the mudgee mail coach up and he shot judge mcevoy
a curse to every copper was the wild colonial boy

[verse 4]
later on that very day, as jacky rode along
listening to the kookaburras’ pleasant laughing song
he spied three mounted troopers: kelly, davis, fitzroy
with a warrant for the capture of the wild colonial boy

[verse 5]
“surrender now, jack doolan, for, you see, we’re three to one
surrender now, in the queen’s high name, or your livin’ days are done”
jack drew two pistols from his belt, and he waved them proud and high
“i’ll fight, but not surrender,” cried the wild colonial boy
[verse 6]
jack fired once at kelly and brought him to the ground
then, turning round from davis’ gun, received his mortal wound
a bullet pierced his proud young heart from the pistol of fitzroy
and that’s the way they captured him, the wild colonial boy

[outro]
and that’s the way they captured him, the wild colonial boy
