THE WILD COLONIAL BOY

I (C)knew a wild col(F)onial boy Jack (G7)Duggan was  
his (C)name. 
Of poor but honest(C7) parents he was born in         Ca(C)stlemaine
he (C)was his fathers (F)favourite son , (G7)his mother's  hope and (C)joy
The pride of both his (F)parents was the (G7)wild colonial (C)boy

At (C)barely sixteen (F)years of age he (G7)left his  native (C)home
Bushranging to the (C7)sunny south, Australia, he did  (C)roam
He (C)robbed the wiry (F)squatters, their (G7)stocks  he did des(C)troy
A terror to (F)Australia was the (G7)wild colonial (C)boy

In (C)sixty one this (F)daring youth commen(G7)ced his wild (C)career
With a heart that knew no (C7)danger no (G7)foeman did he fe(C)ar
He held the Beechworth (F)mail-coach up and (G7)robbed Judge MacE(C)voy
Who trembled and gave (F)up his gold to the (G7)wild  colonial (C)boy

One (C)day along the mountain(F)side , Jack (G7)nimbly rode (C)along
Listening to the little (C7)birds, (G7)singing their  merry  (C)song
(C)Up rode three mounted (C7)troopers, (G7)Kelly Davis and (C)Fitzroy
And cowardly tried to (F)capture him, the(G7) Wild    Colonial (C)Boy

(C)Surrender now Jack (F)Duggan  for you (G7)see its  three to (C)one
Surrender in the (C7)Queens good name, (G7)you daring highway (C)man
(C)Jack drew a pistol (F)from his side and (G7)waved  the lively (C)toy
"I'll shoot but not (F)surrender" cried the (G7)Wild  Colonial (C)Boy"

He (C) fired a shot at (F)Kelly,which (G7)brought him to the (C)ground
And turning round to (F)Davis,he (G7)received a
fatal (C)wound,
A bullet pierced his (F)proud young from the (G7)
pistol of Fitz(C)roy,
And that was how they (F)captured him,
the wild (G7)coronal (C)boy.
