Verse 1
G 
He turned him out
C 
G 
of Beechworth Jail in 1871
D 
He put in three long years
G 
behind those walls
For the stealing of a horse
C 
G 
he swore he'd never done
D 
But now he sees the sun
and turns his back upon it all
C 
Walk softly cried the magistrate
G 
who counted up the score
C 
Walk softly cried the turnkey
G 
as he clanged the iron door
C 
Walk softly cried his comrades
G 
cringing on that prison floor
D 
But the sun is on the meadow
And the wind is in the gum tree
And the Beechworth Jail
G 
is many miles behind you
In a prison ship in shackles
C 
G 
his father reached this land
D 
He stole one pig
G 
and for that crime he paid
Inside a cold dark prison cell
C 
G 
he died a broken man
D 
And he left his wife to curse the crown
while his children dug his grave
C 
Speak softly, cried the jailer
G 
Laying slop upon his plate
C 
Speak softly, cried the turnkey
G 
As he opened up the gate
C 
Speak softly, cried his mother
G 
It's been oh, so long to wait
D 
But the summer's on the meadow
And the wind is in the gum tree
And the beechwood jail
G 
is many miles behind you
C 
G 
C

C 
G 
D 
G 
They told him it was over
C 
G 
and his song was damn well sung
D 
They told him while astray
G 
it'd have to change
And he'd better watch his temper,
C 
G 
and he'd better mind his tongue
D 
For the next time that he walked
inside those gates he'd surely hang
C 
Speak boldly, cried his father,
G 
from the grave in which he lay
C 
Speak boldly, cried his country,
G 
there's a trust that's been betrayed
C 
Speak boldly, cried his conscience,
G 
there's a debt
And it must be paid
D 
That the sun is on the meadow
And the wind is in the gum trees
And the Pitchford jail
G 
C 
G 
is many miles behind you
D
