[E] [A]
One Sunday morning as I went walking
[E] [C#m] [B] [E]
By Brisbane Waters I chanced to stray
[E] [A]
I heard a convict his fate bewailing
[E]
As on the sunny riverbank he lay
[E] [A]
I am a native of Erin's Ireland
[E] [C#m]
But banished now from my native shore
[E] [A]
They stole me from my aged parents
[E]
And from the maiden whom I do adore
[E] [A]
I've been a prisoner at Port Macquarie
[E] [Fm]
At Norfolk Island and Emu Plains
[E] [A]
At Castle Hill and the cursed Toongabbie
[E]
At all these settlements I've been in chains
[E] [A]
But of all places of condemnation
[E] [C#m] [B] [E]
And penal stations in New South Wales
[E] [A]
To Moreton Bay I have found no equal
[E]
Excessive tyranny each day prevails
[E] [A]
For three long years I was beastly treated
[E] [C#m] [B] [E]
And heavy irons on my legs I wore
[E] [A]
My back from flogging was lacerated
[E]
And oft times painted with my crimson gore
[E] [A]
And many a man from downright starvation
[E] [C#m] [B] [E]
Lies mouldering now underneath the clay
[E] [A]
And Captain Logan he had us mangled
[E]
All On the triangles of Moreton Bay
[E] [A]
Like the Egyptians and ancient Hebrews
[E] [C#m] [B] [E]
We were oppressed under Logan's yoke
[E] [A]
Till a native black lying there in ambush
[E]
Did deal this tyrant with his mortal stroke
[E] [A]
My fellow prisoners be exhilarated
[E] [C#m] [B] [E]
That all such monsters like death may find
[E] [A]
And when from bondage we're liberated
[E]
Our former suffering soon will fade from mind
