Luyện nghe bài hát Sixteen Straws

One morning
While I was out
By the waters
I to stray
There I a prisoner
Layed half in the
He'd me coming
And he to say

"I was a native of Ireland
And I was brought
To this place
They me away
my wife and newborn
And my ailing
I've been a at Port Macquarie
Norfolk and Emu Plains
At Castle and cursed Toongabbie
At all of settlements
worked in chains
But of all the of condemnation
At each 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 Ireland
Came here for the
He was a
A Jacobite
He not be broken
But he became
The Jew had one
He was a man
worn the 20 pound irons
Since before time
before the dawn broke
His starvation
He'd the corn from the filth
He'd laying around
ain't no walls at all
So remote is the
The Logan
Was the devil for
His flogger was mad
I heard a prison say
He'd wash his lash in a
drinks the remains

Well I heard a
In the one night
The Jew and O'Brien had a knife
They to kill Logan
But my will was
My reeled with this secret
And the day I spoke
They put me back on the
With no of my actions
and the Jew
Got 300
O'Brien came off his
With exposed shoulder
His skin healed
He turned and strange

We was out on the gang
Just a hole
I was with conscience
My had dissolved
To 15 of eyes
proposed,
'Shall we go to the
Be done our woes?
You know the
play's all I'm asking
We'll draw 16 straws then 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 picked the
He said 'pray God you
At make it quick'
14 of eyes watched me
Pounding a a through his heart
And for a few there was no
Stopping the
Then O'Brien 'friends!
On a scaffold ends
But it's a long was to
And we are men'

Well was wild
We filled him with
He'd seen the Catholic
Plain
We'd his powers
But not that of the
Or the judge the river's
But we was to swing
We were through the scrub
Off to for trial
into a whaler
Set off at low
6 nervous marines
And 6 Enfield
The arse end of the
And indifferent sky

Well I turned to
At the in the sun
But I gathered the others have come undone
I woke smoke in a chaos of limbs
A red coat squirting
Through a in his chin
And a volley of fire in my general
There was and shot
And the of powder burning
I threw a rifle up over the
It was by the water
But I see the shore lights
down in the back
The wrong of the guns
Getting scorched by the
I thought surely I'm
I ghoulish things
Men show limb from

There pieces of him
I tore off my
I was quite badly
My eyes like well springs
were swollen and hurt
I'm not who survived
My trunk was on fire
But they the chains off me
And I over the side. "

I was amazed by this poor wretch's tale
I'd not of the friends
He had in the whaler
But I'd seen the paper
And I had to
How his Commander
Had just this day
"He'd set out you
He was out hunting
he startled some natives
Took a spear his brain"
Then the said "good"
I heard someone in
I turned around and that's
The Royal came
