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.
