[00:07.913]There was a Wild Colonial Boy, Jack Duggan was his name.
[00:16.180]He was born and raised in Ireland, in a place called Castlemain.
[00:24.192]He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy.
[00:32.681]And dearly did his parents love, the Wild Colonial Boy.
[00:40.862]At the early age of sixteen years, he left his native home.
[00:49.035]And to Australia's sunny shore, he was inclined to roam.
[00:56.958]He robbed the rich, to help the poor, he shot Judge McEvoy.
[01:05.260]A terror to Australia was, the Wild Colonial Boy.
[01:13.745]We'll roam the mountains and the glens, and we'll ride across the plains.
[01:21.552]We scorn to live in slavery bound down by an iron chain.
[01:29.927]One morning on the prairie, as Jack he rode along.
[01:37.716]A listening to the mockingbird, singing a cheerful song.
[01:46.428]Up jumped a band of troopers, Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy.
[01:54.323]They all set out to capture him, the Wild Colonial Boy.
[02:02.919]"Surrender now, Jack Duggan, for you see we're three to one."
[02:10.653]"Surrender in the Queen's high name, you are a plundering son."
[02:18.770]Jack drew two pistols from his belt and proudly waved them high.
[02:27.186]"I'll fight but not surrender," cried the Wild Colonial Boy.
[02:35.500]We'll roam the mountains and the glens, and we'll ride across the plains.
[02:43.399]We scorn to live in slavery bound down by an iron chain.
[02:51.773]He fired a shot at Kelly, which brought him to the ground,
[02:59.970]and he fired point blank at Davis who fell dead at the sound.
[03:08.169]A bullet pierced the broad young heart from the pistol of Fitzroy.
[03:16.091]And that was how they captured him, the Wild Colonial Boy.
[03:24.652]We'll roam the mountains and the glens, and we'll ride across the plains.
[03:32.515]We scorn to live in slavery bound down by an iron chain.
