Jolly Rogers Haul Away To Botany Bay
The captain says we’re underway
Heave her up and haul away
Underway for Botany Bay
We’re bound for Australia…
That is where we’ll live and die
Heave her up and haul away
No reason to question why
We’re bound for Australia…
Not one of us is coming back
Heave her up and haul away
All we’ll need is in our pack
We’re bound for Australia…
With the law now we all fought
Heave her up and haul away
But our true crime was getting caught
We’re bound for Australia…
To the colonies we all must go
Heave her up and haul away
Where the sun don’t stop and the wind don’t blow
We’re bound for Australia…
There’s two ways out that’s bad and worse
Heave her up and haul away
Either through the swamp or you go feet first
We’re bound for Australia…
If the snakes don’t get you the sun sure will
Heave her up and haul away
But the liquors cheap and you can drink your fill
We’re bound for Australia…
I heard tell from one who knows
Heave her up and haul away
That the girls there they don’t wear no clothes
We’re bound for Australia…
We can’t go back so on we sail
Heave her up and haul away
It’s a wild adventure or an English jail
We’re bound for Australia…
We’re underway for Botany Bay
Heave her up and haul away
Botany Bay that’s what they say
We’re bound for Australia…
So heave her up and haul away
We’re bound for Australia…
