[00:06.160]Come and listen for a moment lads[00:07.930]And hear me tell my tale[00:11.120]How across the sea from England[00:14.800]I was condemned to sail[00:18.820]Now the jury found me guilty[00:22.320]Then says the judge says he[00:26.620]"Oh for life Jim Jones I'm sending you[00:31.400]Across the stormy sea[00:33.750]But take a tip before you ship[00:40.780]To join the iron gang[00:43.770]Don't get too gay in Botany Bay[00:48.450]Or else you'll surely hang[00:51.370]Or else you'll surely hang" says he[00:55.880]"And after that Jim Jones[00:58.560]It's high above on the gallows tree[01:02.690]The crows will pick your bones"[01:05.940]And our ship was high upon the sea[01:20.340]When pirates came along[01:22.040]But the soldiers on our convict ship[01:27.770]Were full five hundred strong[01:31.570]For they opened fire and somehow drove[01:34.690]That pirate ship away[01:36.810]But I'd rather have joined that pirate ship[01:42.380]Than gone to Botany Bay[01:44.520]With the storms ragin' round us[01:50.760]And the winds a-blowin' gale[01:53.940]I'd rather have drowned in misery[01:58.810]Than gone to New South Wales[02:02.240]There's no time for mischief there they say[02:06.290]Remember that says they[02:09.170]Or they'll flog the poaching out of you[02:14.100]Down there in Botany Bay[02:16.650]Now it's day and night and the irons clang[02:30.700]And like poor galley slaves[02:33.750]We toil and toil and when we die[02:38.240]Must fill dishonored graves[02:40.550]And it's by and by I'll slip my chains[02:45.230]Well into the bush I'll go[02:48.230]And I'll join the bravest rankers there[02:52.440]Jack Donohue and co[02:54.500]And some dark night when everything[02:59.180]Is silent in the town[03:01.920]I'll shoot those tyrants one and all[03:06.790]I'll gun the floggers down[03:09.410]Oh I'll give the land a little shock[03:14.300]Remember what I say[03:16.920]They'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones[03:22.040]In chains to Botany Bay
