[Verse 1]
D Bm G
One Sunday morning as I went walking
D Bm Em
By Brisbane waters I chanced to stray
D Bm G
I heard a prisoner his fate bewailing
D A D
As on the sunny river bank he lay
D Bm G
I am a native from Erin's island
D Bm Em
Transported now from my native shore
D Bm G
They tore me from my aged parents
D A D
And from the maiden whom I adore
[Verse 2]
D Bm G
I've been a prisoner at Port Macquarie
D Bm Em
At Norfolk Island and Emu Plains
D Bm G
At Castle Hill and cursed Toongabbie
D A D
At all those settlements I've worked in chains
D Bm G
But of all places of condemnation
D Bm Em
And penal stations of New South Wales
D Bm G
Of Moreton Bay I have found no equal
D A D
Excessive tyranny each day prevails
[Verse 3]
D Bm G
For three long years I was beastly treated
D Bm Em
And heavy irons on my legs I wore
D Bm G
My back from flogging was lacerated
D A D
And often stained with my crimson gore
D Bm G
And many a man from downright starvation
D Bm Em
Lies mouldering underneath the clay
