Tonart: D minor•
Verse 1
Dm
F
Oh listen for a moment
Gm
Dm
lads an d hear me tell me tale
I o 'er the sea from England shore
F
Gm
Dm
I was obliged to sail
The jury says he's guilty,
Gm
and says the judge says he
Dm
For life, Jim Jones,
F
Gm
Dm
I'm sending you across the stormy sea
F
And take me tip before you ship
Gm
Dm
to join the iron gang
Don't be too gay at Botany Bay
Gm
Dm
or else you'll surely hang
Or else you'll surely hang, he,
Gm
Eb
And after that, Jim Jones.
Gm
Dm
Aye, upon the gallows tree
Gm
Dm
The crows'll pick your bones.
You'll have no chance for mischief then,
Gm
Remember what I say,
Dm
They'll flog the poachin' out of you
F
Gm
Dm
Gm
Down there at Botany Bay.
Dm
F
The wind blew high upon the sea
Gm
Dm
and the pirates come along
But the soldiers in our convict ship
Gm
Dm
was nigh five hundred strong
They opened fire
Gm
and somehow drove that pirate ship away
F
I'd rather join the scall 'n bones
Gm
Dm
Than go to Botany Bay
F
Now night and day the irons clang
Dm
Unlike poor galley slaves
F
We toil and strive and when we die
Dm
Gm
Dm
We fill dishonoured graves
F
But by and by I'll break me chains,
Gm
and to the bush I'll go,
Dm
And join the brave bush rangers there,
F
Dm
Gm
Dm
like Donahoe and Co.
Dm
Gm
Dm
when everything is silent in the town,
I'll kill them tyrants one by one,
Gm
Dm
and shoot the floggers down
I'll give the law a little shock,
Dm
F
They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones
Gm
Dm
in chains to botany bay
