Botany Bay
Farewell to Old England forever Farewell to my old pals as well Farewell to the well known Old Bailey Where I once used to be such a swell
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty, Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay, Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty Oh we are bound for Botany Bay
There's the captain as is our commandeer, There's bo'sun and all the ship's crew There's first and the second class passengers, Knows what we poor convicts goes through
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty, Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay, Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty Oh we are bound for Botany Bay
'Taint leaving Old England we cares about, 'Taint 'cos we mispells wot we knows But becos all we light finger'd gentry Hop's around with a log on our toes.
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty, Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay, Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Oh we are bound for Botany Bay
These seven long years I've been serving now And seven long more have to stay All for bashing a bloke down our alley And taking his ticker away
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty, Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay, Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty Oh we are bound for Botany Bay
Oh had I the wings of a turtle-dove, I'd soar on my pinions so high, Slap bang to the arms of my Polly love, And in her sweet presence I'd die
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty, Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay, Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty Oh we are bound for Botany Bay
Now all my young Dookies and Duchesses, Take warning from what I've to say, Mind all is your own as you touch-es-es, Or you'll find us in Botany Bay,
