One morning
I was out walking
By the waters
I chanced to
There I found a
Layed in the water
seen me coming
And he to say

"I was a native of Erin's
And before I was
To this place
They dragged me
my wife and newborn
And my parents
been a prisoner at Port Macquarie
Norfolk and Emu Plains
At Hill and cursed Toongabbie
At all of these
worked in chains
But of all the places of
At each penal station of New Wales
To Moreton Bay I've found no
The tyranny makes all the rest pale

There I met
The defender Ulster
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 began
before the dawn broke
His starvation
He'd the corn from the filth
He'd find laying
There no walls at all
So is the North
The Commandant
Was the devil for
His flogger was mad
I a prison guard say
wash his lash in a bucket
Then drinks the

Well I heard a
In the barracks one
The Jew and O'Brien had a knife
They meant to Logan
But my will was
My reeled with this secret
And the day I spoke
They put me on the gang
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 struggling with
My nerves had
To 15 of eyes
proposed,
'Shall we go to the
Be with our woes?
You the game
Fair play's all I'm
We'll draw 16 straws then nothing is
Why should we at the
of our lives
When we're only condemned by our will to '

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

Well Logan was
We filled him bile
He'd seen the Catholic
Plain
We'd ascended his
But not of the King's
Or the judge down the
But we was to swing
We were marched the scrub
Off to for trial
into a whaler
Set off at low
With 6 nervous
And 6 rifles
The end of the world
And indifferent sky

Well I to torpor
At the in the sun
But I gathered the others have come undone
I woke breathing smoke in a chaos of
A red coat blood
Through a hole in his
And a volley of in my general direction
There was and shot
And the smell of powder
I threw a up over the side
It was by the water
But I could see the lights
Crouched in the back
The wrong side of the
Getting scorched by the
I thought I'm done
I seen ghoulish
Men limb from limb
was dead
There were of him
I tore off my
I was badly burnt
My eyes poured like springs
They swollen and hurt
I'm not who survived
My whole trunk was on
But they borke the 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 just seen the
And I had to
How his Logan
Had just this day
"He'd set out you
He was out game
When he some natives
Took a spear his brain"
the prisoner said "good"
I someone in boots
I turned around and when
