G
C
Dm
There was a wild colonial boy,
G
C
Jack Doolin was his name.
G
C
he was born in Castle Main.
G
C
and his mother's pride and joy.
C
Dm
So come away, my hearties,
G
C
we'll range the mountainside
G
C
and together we will ride
G
C
And we'll scour the baffled plains
G
C
Bound down with iron chains
He was scarcely sixteen
G
C
When he left his father's home
G
C
a bushranger did roam.
C
Dm
And a terror to the rich man
G
C
was the wild colonial boy.
G
C
Commenced his wild career
G
C
No foeman did he fear
C
Dm
Who, trembling cold, gave up his gold
G
C
To the wild Cologne yule boy.
G
C
the mountainside along,
G
C
happy lovin' song,
G

Kelly Davis and Fitzroy.

G
C
for you see there's three to one.
G
C
for you're a plunderin' son
G
C
and he waved it like a toy
C
Dm
He fired at Trooper Kelly,
G
C
and he brought him to the ground
G
C
he received a mortal wound
C
Dm
And that's the way they cap tured him,
C
Dm
So come away, my hearties,
G
C
we'll raise the mountains high
G
C
and together we will ride
G
C
And we'll scour the Bathurst plains
G
C
Bound down with iron chains
