Wild Colonial Boys.
_ _ There _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
was a wild colonial [Ab] boy Jack, _ [Eb] was his name.
He was born and [Ebm] raised in Ireland, [Ab] in a place called [Db] Castle Mane.
_ He was his [Ebm] father's only [Ab] son, his mother's bride [Db] and child.
_ And here he [Ab] did his parents' love, the wild [Db] colonial boy.
_ At the early [Ab] age of sixteen years, he left his [Db] native home.
_ And to _ [Ab] Australia's sunny shore, [Bbm] he was inclined [Db] to roam.
_ He robbed the rich, [Ab] he helped the poor, [Gb] he shot James [Db] _ _
McAvoy.
And to _ [Gb] _
Australia [Ab] was the wild [Db] colonial boy.
_ When morning [Ab] hung the prairie, as Jack he [Db] rode along.
_ And listening [Ab] to the _ mockingbird, singing a [Db] cheerful song,
_ A staffed [Ab] up band of troopers, [Ebm] Kelly Davis [Db] and Fitzroy,
_ _ They all set [Ab] out to capture him, the wild [Eb] colonial boy.
_ _ _ [Db] Surrender now, [Ab] Jack, for you see we're [Db] free to roam.
_ _ _ Surrender [C] and the king's hiding, [Eb] you are a [Db] plundering son.
_ Jack rode to [Ebm] press on in, [Ab] he proudly [Db] wailed, _
_ A fight but [Gb] not surrender, [Ab] said the wild [Db] colonial boy.
_ He fired a [Ab] shot at _ Kelly, which brought him to [Db] the ground.
_ And turning [Ab] round to Davis, he [Ebm] _ received a [Db] fatal _ wound.
A bullet [Ab] pierced his proud young heart, [Bb] from the pistol [Db] of Fitzroy.
_ And that was [Gb] how they captured him, [Ab] the wild [Db] colonial boy.
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now they leave tonight for Phaeton.
When are you going to be out there?

Thank [Ab] you.
Say a good [N] hello to them.
