One Sunday
While I was out
By the waters
I chanced to
I found a prisoner
Layed in the water
He'd me coming
And he to say

"I was a native of Erin's
And before I was
To this terrible
They dragged me
my wife and newborn
And my ailing
I've been a at Port Macquarie
Island and Emu Plains
At Castle Hill and cursed
At all of settlements
I've worked in
But of all the of condemnation
At penal station of New South Wales
To Moreton Bay I've no equal
The tyranny makes all the rest pale

I met O'Brien
The defender from
He'd left burning
Came here for the
He was a
A Jacobite
He could not be
But he became
The Jew had one
He was a man
He'd worn the 20 pound
Since before time
before the dawn broke
His awoke
He'd pick the from the filth
He'd laying around
There no walls at all
So is the North
The Logan
Was the for sure
His flogger was mad
I heard a prison say
wash his lash in a bucket
Then drinks the

Well I heard a
In the one night
The Jew and had fashioned a knife
They meant to kill
But my will was
My brain with this secret
And the day I spoke
put me back on the gang
With no word of my
and the Jew
Got 300
came off his triangle
With exposed shoulder
His skin healed
He turned and strange

We was out on the road
digging a hole
I was struggling with
My nerves had
To 15 pairs of
proposed,
'Shall we go to the
Be done our woes?
You the game
Fair all I'm asking
We'll draw 16 then nothing is wanting
Why should we at the
of our lives
When we're only by our will to survive? '

16 we did then did draw
I the long one
The Jew the short
He 'pray God forgives you
At least it quick'
14 pairs of watched me
Pounding a a shiv through his
And for a few moments was no
the blood
Then O'Brien 'friends!
On a scaffold this
But it's a long was to
And we are men'

Logan was wild
We him with bile
He'd seen the dodge
Plain
We'd ascended his
But not that of the
Or the down the river's
But we was happy to
We were through the scrub
Off to Brisbane for
into a whaler
Set off at low
With 6 nervous
And 6 rifles
The end of the world
And blue sky

I turned to torpor
At the in the sun
But I the others must have come undone
I woke breathing smoke in a chaos of
A red coat blood
a hole in his chin
And a volley of in my general direction
There was and shot
And the smell of powder
I threw a rifle up over the
It was dark by the
But I see the shore lights
down in the back
The wrong side of the
Getting scorched by the
I thought surely I'm
I seen things
Men limb from limb
O'Brien was
were pieces of him
I off my shirt
I was quite burnt
My eyes poured well springs
They were and hurt
I'm not who survived
My whole was on fire
But they borke the off me
And I over the side. "

Well I was amazed by this wretch's tale
I'd not of the friends
He had left in the
But I'd just the paper
And I had to
How his Commander
Had died this day
"He'd set out you
He was out hunting
When he startled natives
Took a through his brain"
Then the said "good"
I someone in boots
I turned around and when
The Royal came
