Jim Jones At Byron Bay-Mike Thomas And The Sure Thing

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Traditional [00:11.490] Listen for a moment lads and hear me tell my tale [00:20.490] How o'er the sea from England's shore I was condemned to sail [00:28.490] The jury found he guilty sir and the hanging judge says he [00:37.490] For life Jim Jones I'm sending you across the stormy sea [00:47.490] And take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang [00:56.490] Dont be too gay at Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang [01:05.490] Or else you'll surely hang says he and after that Jim Jones [01:12.490] High up upon the gallows tree the crows will pick your bones [01:30.490] Have no chance for mischief there remember what I say [01:40.490] They'll flog the poaching out of you [01:44.490] out there at Botany Bay [01:49.490] The waves were high upon the sea the wind blew up in gales [01:56.490] I'd rather have drowned in misery than come to New South Wales [02:07.490] The winds blew high upon the sea and the pirates came along [02:16.490] But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong [02:25.490] They opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away [02:33.490] I'd rather joined that pirate ship than come to Botany Bay [02:50.490] For day and night the irons clang and like poor galley slaves [03:00.000] We toil and toil and when we die must fill dishonoured graves [03:07.490] But bye and bye I'll break my chains into the bush I'll go [03:26.490] And one night that when everything is silent in this town [03:35.000] I'll kill the best one by one and shoot the floggers down [03:40.490] I'll give them all a little shock remember what I say [03:52.490] They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay
