    • Verse 1
    One 
    Sunday 
    morning 
    as 
    I 
    went walking 

    By 
    Brisbane 
    waters 
    I 
    chanced to 
    stray 

    I 
    heard 
    a prisoner, 
    his 
    fate bewailing 

    As 
    on 
    the sunny 
    river 
    bank 
    he 
    lay 

    I 
    am 
    a native 
    of 
    Arran's 
    Island 

    and 
    banished 
    now 
    from my 

    native 
    shore. 

    They told 
    me from 
    my 
    agent 
    parents 

    and 
    from 
    the maiden 
    whom 
    I do 
    adore. 

    I've 
    been a prisoner 
    at 
    Port 
    Macquarie, 


    At Norfolk 
    Island 
    and 
    Emu Plain
    s, 

    At 
    Castle 
    Hill 
    and 
    at 
    Thule 
    and Gabby, 

    At 
    all those 
    settlements 

    I've 
    worked in chain
    s, 

    But 
    of all 
    the places 
    of 
    condemnation, 

    And 
    penal 
    stations 
    of 
    New South 
    Wales, 


    To Morton 
    Bay I 
    have 
    found no 
    equal, 


    Excessive 
    tyranny 
    each 
    day pre
    vails. 

    For 
    three long 
    years 
    I was 
    beastly 
    treated, 

    And 
    heavy 
    irons 
    on my 
    legs I 
    wore. 

    My back, 
    with flogging, 
    is la
    cerated, 

    And 
    often 
    painted 
    with my 
    crimson 
    gore. 

    And 
    many 
    a man 
    from 

    downright 
    starvation 

    Lies 
    moul
    dering 
    now 
    underneath 
    the 
    clay 

    An
    d Captain 
    Logan 
    he had 
    us mangled 

    At the 
    triangles 
    of Mor
    ton Bay 

    Like 
    the 
    Egyptians 
    and 
    ancient 
    Hebrews 

    We 
    were 
    oppressed under 
    Lo
    gan 
    Joe 

    Till 
    a native 
    black lying 
    there 
    in ambush 

    Did 
    give old 
    Tyrant 
    his mortal 
    stroke 

    My 
    fellow 
    prisoners 
    be 
    ex
    hilarated 

    That 
    all such 
    monsters 

    such 
    a 
    death may 
    find 

    An
    d when 
    from bondage 
    we are 
    liberated 

    All 
    former 
    suffering 
    shall 
    fade 
    from mind 
    you

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
