[VERSE]
[E] Onex Sunday morning as I we[A]ntx walking
B[E]yxx Brisbane Waters I chanced to st[C#m]rayxx [B] xxx [E] xxx
I[E] xxx heard a convict his fate b [A] ewailingx
As[E] xxx on the sunny riverbank he lay
I[E] amx a native of Erin's I[A]relandx
Bu[E]txx banished now from my native sh[C#m]orexx
Th[E]eyx stole me from my aged p [A] arentsx
And[E] xxx from the maiden whom I do adore
I've[E] beenx a prisoner at Port Ma[A]cquariex
At[E] Norfolkx Island and Emu Pla[Fm]insx
At C[E]astlex Hill and the cursed Toong[A]abbiex
At al[E]lxx these settlements I've been in chains
But o[E]fxx all places of condemna [A] tionx
And[E] xxx penal stations in New South Wal[C#m]esxxx [B] xxx [E] xxx
To[E] xxx Moreton Bay I have found no [A] equalx
Exc[E] essivex tyranny each day prevails
Fo[E]rxx three long years I was beastly tr [A] eatedx
And[E] xxx heavy irons on my legs I wo[C#m]rexxx [B] xxx [E] xxx
My[E] xxx back from flogging was lacer[A]atedx
An[E]dxx oft times painted with my crimson gore
An[E]dxx many a man from downright star[A]vationx
Lie[E]sxx mouldering now underneath the cl[C#m]ayxxx [B] xxx [E] xxx
An[E]dxx Captain Logan he had us mang[A]ledx
Al[E]lxx On the triangles of Moreton Bay
Li[E]kex the Egyptians and ancient Hebr [A] ewsx
We[E] xxx were oppressed under Logan's yoke [C#m] xxxxx [B] xxx [E] xxx
Til[E]lxx a native black lying there in am [A] bushx
Did[E] xxx deal this tyrant with his mortal stroke
My[E] fellowx prisoners be exhilarate[A]dxx
Th[E]atx all such monsters like death may fin[C#m]dxxxx [B] xxx [E] xxx
A[E]ndx when from bondage we're lib [A] eratedx
Our[E] xxx former suffering soon will fade from mind
