[00:01.000] 作曲 : Dennis Gibbons
[00:08.905]There was a wild Colonial boy, Jack Doolan was his name,
[00:16.962]Of poor but honest parents he was born in Castlemaine.
[00:24.780]He was his father's only hope, his mother's pride and joy,
[00:33.044]And dearly did his parents love the wild Colonial boy.
[00:44.293]
[00:49.007]He was scarcely sixteen years of age when he left his parent's home,
[00:57.323]And through Australia's sunny clime a bushranger did roam.
[01:05.463]He robbed the wealthy squatters, and their stock he did destroy,
[01:13.355]A terror to Australia was the wild Colonial boy.
[01:29.627]
[01:29.778]In sixty-one this daring youth commenced his wild career,
[01:37.834]With a heart that knew no danger,and no foeman did he fear.
[01:46.212]He stuck up the Beechworth mail coach, and he robbed Judge MacEvoy,
[01:54.213]Who trembled, and gave up all his gold to the wild Colonial boy.
[02:02.547]
[02:10.589]He bade the Judge 'Good morning' and he told him to beware,
[02:18.530]That he'd never rob a hearty chap who acted on the square.
[02:26.729]And he'd never rob a mother of her one and only joy,
[02:34.923]Or else he may turn an outlaw, like the wild Colonial boy.
[02:43.342]
[02:51.480]One day while he was riding the mountain side along,
[02:59.503]A-listening to the little birds, their pleasant laughing song.
[03:07.811]Three mounted troopers rode along⁠—Kelly, Davis, and FitzRoy,
[03:15.931]Saying he's all chance to capture him⁠—the wild Colonial boy.
[03:26.109]
[03:32.397]'Surrender now, Jack Doolan,for you see there's three to one,
[03:40.643]Surrender in the Queen's name you daring highwayman.'
[03:48.802]Jack drew a pistol from his belt, and aimed it at FitzRoy,
[03:57.048]'I'll fight, but not surrender,' said the wild Colonial boy.
[04:05.241]
[04:13.443]He fired at Trooper Kelly, and he brought him to the ground,
[04:21.894]And in return from Davis he received a mortal wound.
[04:30.394]All shattered through the jaws he lay still firing at FitzRoy,
[04:38.684]And that's the way they captured him—the wild Colonial boy.

There was a wild Colonial boy, Jack Doolan was his name,
Of poor but honest parents he was born in Castlemaine.
He was his father's only hope, his mother's pride and joy,
And dearly did his parents love the wild Colonial boy.
He was scarcely sixteen years of age when he left his parent's home,
And through Australia's sunny clime a bushranger did roam.
He robbed the wealthy squatters, and their stock he did destroy,
A terror to Australia was the wild Colonial boy.
In sixty-one this daring youth commenced his wild career,
With a heart that knew no danger,and no foeman did he fear.
He stuck up the Beechworth mail coach, and he robbed Judge MacEvoy,
Who trembled, and gave up all his gold to the wild Colonial boy.
He bade the Judge 'Good morning' and he told him to beware,
That he'd never rob a hearty chap who acted on the square.
And he'd never rob a mother of her one and only joy,
Or else he may turn an outlaw, like the wild Colonial boy.
One day while he was riding the mountain side along,
A-listening to the little birds, their pleasant laughing song.
Three mounted troopers rode along⁠—Kelly, Davis, and FitzRoy,
Saying he's all chance to capture him⁠—the wild Colonial boy.
'Surrender now, Jack Doolan,for you see there's three to one,
Surrender in the Queen's name you daring highwayman.'
Jack drew a pistol from his belt, and aimed it at FitzRoy,
'I'll fight, but not surrender,' said the wild Colonial boy.
He fired at Trooper Kelly, and he brought him to the ground,
And in return from Davis he received a mortal wound.
All shattered through the jaws he lay still firing at FitzRoy,
And that's the way they captured him—the wild Colonial boy.
