| 作词 : Traditional | |
| Concerning of three young men | |
| One night in January | |
| According laws contrary | |
| A-poaching went straightway | |
| They were inclined to ramble | |
| Amongst the trees and brambles | |
| A-firing at the pheasants | |
| Which brought the keepers nigh | |
| The keepers dared not enter | |
| Nor cared the woods to venture | |
| But outside near the centre | |
| In them old bush they stood | |
| The poachers they were tired | |
| And to leave they were desired | |
| At at last young Parkins fired | |
| And spilled one keeper's blood | |
| Fast homeward they were making | |
| Nine pheasants they were taking | |
| When another keeper faced them | |
| They fired at him also | |
| He on the ground lay crying | |
| Just like some person dying | |
| With no assistance nigh him | |
| May God forgive their crime | |
| Then they were taken with speed | |
| All for that inhuman deed | |
| It caused their hearts to bleed | |
| For their young tender years | |
| There seen before was never | |
| Three brothers tried together | |
| Three brothers condemned for poaching | |
| Found guilty as they stood | |
| Exiled in transportation | |
| Two brothers they were taken | |
| And the other hung as a token | |
| May God forgive their crime |
