Luyện nghe bài hát Moreton Bay

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

I am a native of Ireland
But banished now from my native
They stole me from my aged
And the maiden whom I do adore

I've been a prisoner at Macquarie
At Norfolk Island and Emu
At Castle Hill and the Toongabbie
At all these settlements I've been in

But of all of condemnation
And penal stations in New South
To Moreton Bay I have found no
tyranny each day prevails

For three long I was beastly treated
And heavy irons on my I wore
My back from was lacerated
And oft painted with my crimson gore

And many a man from starvation
moldering now underneath the clay
And Captain Logan he had us
All On the triangles of Bay

the Egyptians and ancient Hebrews
We were oppressed Logan's yoke
Till a native black there in ambush
Did deal this with his mortal stroke

My prisoners be exhilarated
all such monsters like death may find
And when from bondage liberated
Our former suffering will fade from mind
