Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show - The Wild Colonial Boy слова песни
(S. Silverstein)There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Doolan was his nameOf poor but honest parents, he was born near CastlemaineHe was his father`s only son, and his mother`s pride and joySo dearly did his parents love their wild colonial boyBarely sixteen years of age, he first began to roamAnd found Australia`s sunny shores, and called it his true homeHe robbed the wealthy squatters, their assetts to destroyA terror to the rich ones, was the wild colonial boyBack in eighteen sixty one, began his wild careerWith a head that knew no danger, and a heart that held no fearHe held the Mudgee mail coach up, and he shot Judge MacEvoyA curse to every copper was the wild colonial boyLater on that very day, as Jack he rode alongListening to the kookaburras, pleasant laughing songHe spied three mounted troopers, Kelly, Davis and FitzroyWith a warrant for the capture of the wild colonial boy"Surrender now, Jack Doolan, for you see we`re three to oneSurrender now in the Queen`s high name, or your living 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 boyJack fired once at Kelly, brought him to the groundThen turning round from Davis` gun, received his mortal woundA bullet pierced his proud young heart, from the pistol of FitzroyAnd that`s the way they captured him, the wild colonial boyYes that`s the way they captured him, the wild colonial boy(c) Unknown
