The Wild Colonial Boy
There was a wild colonial boy Jack Dugan was his name
He was born and bred in Ireland in a house called Castle Maine
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 land he was inclined to roam
He robbed the rich and he helped the poor, He stabbed James MacEvoy
A terror to Australia was the wild colonial boy
One morning on the prairie wild Jack Dugan rode around
While listening to a mocking bird singing a cheerful song
Out jumped three troopers fierce and grim Kelly, Davis, and Fitzroy
They all set out to capture him The wild colonial boy
Surrender now Jack Dugan come You see it's three to one
Surrender in the Queen's name sir You are a plundering son
Jack drew two pistols from his side and glared upon Fitzroy
I'll fight but not surrender cried the wild colonial boy
He fired a shot at Kelly which brought him to the ground
He fired point blank at Davis too who fell dead at the sound
But a bullet pierced his brave young heart from the pistol of Fitzroy
And that is how they captured him the wild colonial boy
