Jim Jones

The Complete Album Collection Vol.1专辑

  • Come and listen for a moment, lads
    And hear me tell my tale
    How across the sea from England
    I was condemned to sail
    Now the jury found me guilty
    Then says the judge, says he
    "Oh, for life, Jim Jones, I'm sending you
    Across the stormy sea
    But take a tip before you ship
    To join the iron gang
    Don't get too gay in Botany Bay
    Or else you'll surely hang
    Or else you'll surely hang", says he
    "And after that Jim Jones
    It's high above on the gallows tree
    The crows will pick your bones".
    And our ship was high upon the sea
    When pirates came along
    But the soldiers on our convict ship
    Were full five hundred strong
    For they opened fire and somehow drove
    That pirate ship away
    But I'd rather have joined that pirate ship
    Than gone to Botany Bay
    With the storms ragin' round us
    And the winds a-blowin' gale
    I'd rather have drowned in misery
    Than gone to New South Wales
    There's no time for mischief there they say
    Remember that, says they
    Or they'll flog the poaching out of you
    Down there in Botany Bay.
    Now it's day and night and the irons clang
    And like poor galley slaves
    We toil and toil, and when we die
    Must fill dishonored graves
    And it's by and by I'll slip my chains
    Well, into the bush I'll go
    And I'll join the bravest rankers there
    Jack Donohue and co
    And some dark night, when everything
    Is silent in the town
    I'll shoot those tyrants one and all
    I'll gun the floggers down
    Oh, I'll give the land a little shock
    Remember what I say
    They'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones
    In chains to Botany Bay.
