Luyện nghe bài hát Moreton Bay

One morning as I went walking
By Brisbane I chanced to stray
I heard a convict his fate
As on the riverbank he lay

I am a native of Erin's
But banished now my native shore
They stole me from my parents
And from the maiden whom I do

I've been a prisoner at Port
At Norfolk and Emu Plains
At Castle and the cursed Toongabbie
At all these settlements I've in chains

But of all of condemnation
And stations in New South Wales
To Bay I have found no equal
Excessive each day prevails

For three years I was beastly treated
And heavy irons on my I wore
My back flogging was lacerated
And oft times painted with my gore

And many a man downright starvation
Lies moldering now the clay
And Logan he had us mangled
All On the triangles of Bay

Like the Egyptians and Hebrews
We oppressed under Logan's yoke
Till a native black lying there in
Did deal this tyrant with his stroke

My fellow be exhilarated
That all monsters like death may find
And when from bondage we're
Our former suffering shall will from mind
