Wild Colonial Boy

There was a Wild colonial boy Jack Doogan was his name

He was born and bread in Ireland in a place called Castlevain

He was his mother's only son his father's pride and joy

And dearly did his parents love the wild colonial boy

[ guitar ]

At the early age of sixteen years he left his native home

And to Austrailia's sunny shore he was inclined to roam

He roobed the range to help before he stabbed James Mac Evoy

A terror to Austrailia was the wild colonial boy

[ guitar ]

One morning on the prairie wild Jack Doogan rode along

While listening to the mockingbird he sang a cheerful song

Up jumped three troopers armed with gun named Davis and Kelly and Fitzroy

They all set out to capture him the wild colonial boy

[ guitar ]

He fired a shot at Kelly's chest that brought him to the ground

And turning round to Davis he recieved the fatal wound

A bullet piereced his brave young heart from the pistol of Fitzroy

And that was how they captured him the wild colonial boy

And that was how they captured him the wild colonial boy
