Вступление
G
Listen for a moment lads
Am Em
And hear me tell my tale
C G
How over the sea from England shore
Am Em
I was condemned to sail
C G
The jury found me guilty sir
Am Em
And said the judge, said he
Am Em
"For life, Jim Jones, I sentence you
Am Em
Across the stormy sea
G
But take my tip before you ship
Am Em
To join the iron gang
C G
Don't be too gay in Botany Bay
Am Em
Or else you'll surely hang
C G
Or else you'll surely hang,"he says
Am Em
"And after that, Jim Jones
Am Em
High upon the gallows tree
Am Em
The crows will pick your bones"
G
There's no time for mischief there,
Am Em
Remember, what I say
C G
They'll flog the poaching out of you,
Am Em
And out there at Botany Bay."
C G
The winds blew high upon the sea,
Am Em
And the winds a-blowin' gale
Am Em
I'd rather have drowned in misery,
Am Em
Than gone to New South Wale.
G
The waves were high upon the sea
Am Em
When pirates came along
C G
But the soldiers on our convict ship
Am Em
Were full five hundred strong
C G
They opened fire and somehow drove
Am Em
That pirate ship away
Am Em
I’d rather joined that pirate ship
Am Em
Than come to Botany Bay
G
And one dark night when everything
Am Em
Is quiet in the town
C G
I'll kill you bastards one and all,
Am Em
I'll gun the floggers down.
C G
I'll give them all a little shock,
Am Em
Remember what I say
Am Em
And they'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones
In chains to Botany Bay.
G
Now day and night the irons clang
Am Em
We like poor galley slaves
C G
Will toil and toil our lives away
Am Em
To fill dishonored graves;
C G
By and by I'll break my chains:
Am Em
Into the bush I’ll go,
Am Em
And you'll be dead behind me John
Am Em
When I get to... Mexico
