Luyện nghe bài hát Sixteen Straws

One Sunday
While I was out
By the Brisbane's
I chanced to
There I a prisoner
Layed half in the
He'd me coming
And he to say

"I was a native of Erin's
And before I was
To this terrible
dragged me away
From my and newborn
And my parents
I've been a at Port Macquarie
Norfolk and Emu Plains
At Hill and cursed Toongabbie
At all of these
I've in chains
But of all the places of
At penal station of New South Wales
To Bay I've found no equal
The tyranny there makes all the rest

There I met
The defender from
He'd left burning
Came here for the
He was a
A Jacobite
He could not be
But he displaced
The Jew had one
He was a man
worn the 20 pound irons
Since before began
before the dawn broke
His starvation
He'd pick the from the filth
He'd find laying
ain't no walls at all
So remote is the
The Logan
Was the for sure
His chief was mad
I a prison guard say
He'd wash his in a bucket
drinks the remains

Well I a rumour
In the one night
The Jew and O'Brien had fashioned a
They meant to Logan
But my will was
My brain reeled this secret
And the next day I
They put me on the gang
With no of my actions
and the Jew
Got 300
came off his triangle
With exposed blades
His skin never
He turned morbid and

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

16 straws we did did draw
I the long one
The Jew the short
He 'pray God forgives you
At least make it
14 pairs of eyes me
Pounding a a shiv through his
And for a few moments was no
Stopping the
Then said 'friends!
On a scaffold ends
But it's a long was to
And we are men'

Well Logan was
We filled him with
He'd the Catholic dodge
suicide
We'd ascended his
But not that of the
Or the judge the river's
But we was happy to
We were marched the scrub
Off to for trial
Chained into a
Set off at low
With 6 marines
And 6 rifles
The end of the world
And indifferent sky

Well I to torpor
At the in the sun
But I gathered the must have come undone
I woke breathing smoke in a chaos of
A red squirting blood
Through a in his chin
And a volley of fire in my direction
was panic and shot
And the smell of powder
I threw a up over the side
It was dark by the
But I could see the shore
down in the back
The wrong of the guns
Getting scorched by the
I surely I'm done
I seen ghoulish
Men show limb limb
was dead
There pieces of him
I off my shirt
I was badly burnt
My poured like well springs
They swollen and hurt
I'm not sure who
My trunk was on fire
But borke the chains off me
And I over the side. "

Well I was amazed by this poor wretch's
I'd heard not of the
He had in the whaler
But I'd just the paper
And I had to
How his Logan
Had just this day
"He'd set out you
He was out hunting
When he startled some
Took a through his brain"
Then the prisoner "good"
I heard someone in
I around and that's when
The Marines came
