Lyrics by:Carthy Martin
Composed by:Carthy Martin/Trad
Oh listen for a moment lads and hear me tell me tale
听我说一会儿朋友们听我讲个故事
How o'er the sea from England's shore I was obliged to sail
我怎会被迫离开英国的海岸扬帆远航
The jury says he's guilty sir and says the judge says he
陪审团说他有罪先生法官说
For life Jim Jones I'm sending you across the stormy sea
就像JimJones一样我要送你穿越狂风暴雨的大海
I'm take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang
在你加入铁血帮之前我会吸取教训
Don't be too gay at Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang
在BotanyBay不要太开心否则你会被绞死的
Or else you'll surely hang says he and after that Jim Jones
否则你会被处以绞刑他说在那之后还有JimJones
High upon the gallows tree the crows will pick your bones
高高的绞刑架上乌鸦会把你的骨头挑出来
You'll have no chance for mischief then remember what I say
你没有机会胡作非为记住我的话
They'll flog the poaching out of you down there at Botany Bay
他们会在植物湾把你挖出来的
The wind blew high upon the sea and the pirates come along
海面上刮起大风海盗接踵而至
But the soldiers in our convict ship was nigh five hundred strong
但我们船上的士兵差不多有五百人
They opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away
他们开火把海盗船赶走了
I'd rather have joined the skull-and-bones than go to Botany Bay
我宁愿加入骷髅帮也不愿去BotanyBay
Now night and day the irons clang and like poor galley-slaves
日日夜夜铁器叮当作响就像可怜的苦役犯
We toil and strive and when we die
我们埋头苦干奋力拼搏当我们离开人世
We fill dishonoured graces
我们重拾荣耀
But by and by I'll break me
但总有一天我会击垮自己
Chains and to the bush I'll go
我会戴着金链子走到丛林里
And join the brave bushrangers there like Donahue and Co
加入像Donahue和Co一样勇敢的丛林人的行列
And some dark night when everything is silent in the town
在某个漆黑的夜晚当城里一片寂静
I'll kill them tyrants one by one and shoot the floggers down
我会把暴君一个一个地杀了,把鞭子打下来。
I'll give the law a little shock remember what I say
我会给法律一点震撼记住我说的话
They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay
他们会后悔把JimJones关起来送去BotanyBay
