In 1803 we sailed out to sea |
| [00:23.17] |
Out from the sweet town of Derry. |
| [00:26.77] |
For Australia bound if we didn't all drown |
| [00:30.41] |
And the marks of our feckles we carried |
| [00:34.18] |
In the rusty iron chains we cried for our wanes |
| [00:37.73] |
Our good women we left there in sorrow |
| [00:41.71] |
As the main sails unfurled, our curses we hurled |
| [00:45.30] |
At the English and the thoughts of tomorrow |
| [00:49.27] |
At the mouth of the Foyle, bid farwell to the soil |
| [00:54.46] |
As down below decks we were lying. |
| [00:59.00] |
O'Docherty's scream woke him out of a dream |
| [01:02.18] |
By a vision of bold Robert dying. |
| [01:06.57] |
The sun burned cruel and we dished out the gruel |
| [01:09.91] |
Dan O'Connor was down with the fever |
| [01:13.84] |
Sixty rebels today bound for botany bay |
| [01:17.43] |
How many would reach there this evening? |
| [03:18.33][03:02.48][02:12.84][01:23.50] |
Oh....oh, I wish I was back home in Derry. |
| [03:25.74][03:10.06][02:20.41][01:31.23] |
Oh....oh, I wish I was back home in Derry. |
| [01:41.29] |
I cursed them to hell, as our bow fought the swell |
| [01:44.21] |
Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight |
| [01:48.35] |
Wild horses rode high as the devil passed by |
| [01:51.73] |
Taking souls into Hades by twilight |
| [01:55.86] |
Five weeks out to sea we were now 43 |
| [01:59.40] |
We buried our comrades each morning |
| [02:03.49] |
And in our own slime, we were lost in the time |
| [02:06.92] |
Endless night without dawning |
| [02:30.58] |
Van diemens land is a hell for a man |
| [02:33.54] |
To end out his whole life in slavery |
| [02:37.78] |
Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law |
| [02:41.41] |
Neither wind nor rain care for bravery |
| [02:45.35] |
Twenty years have gone by and I've ended my bond |
| [02:48.94] |
My comrades' ghosts walk behind me |
| [02:52.87] |
A rebel I came and I'm still the same |
| [02:56.56] |
On a cold winters night you will find me. |
