Lazy Harry - Wild Colonial Boy lyrics

Tis of a Wild Colonial Boy Jack Doolan was his name Of poor but honest parents, he was borns in Castlemaine He was his father's only hope and his mother's pride and joy And dearly did his parent love their Wild Colonial Boy In May of 1841 left his native home All over Victoria's sountryside a bushranger to roam He stuck up the Beechworth mailcoach and robbed Judge McEvoy Who Trembled and gave up his gold to the Wild Colonial Boy One day as he was riding yhe coutryside along Listening to the kookaburra's happy laughing song He spied three mounted troopers Kelly David and Fitzroy With a warrant fot the capture of the Wil Colonial Boy Surrender now Jack Doolan, can't you see there's three to one Surrender in the Queen's name gor you're a plundering son Jack drew a pistol from belt swung it like a toy I'll fight but never surrender cried the Wil Colonial Boy He fired at trooper Kelly and Broyght him to the gornd And in returm from Davis he received a mortal woynd He lay all shattered through the jaw still firing at Fitzroy And that's the way they captured him, the Wild Colonial Boy
