There was a wild colonial boy,
He was born and raised in Ireland
in a place called Castlemaine
He was his father's only son,
his mother's pride and joy
And dearly did his parents love
One morning on the prairie
A listening to the mockingbird
a singing a cheerful song
Out stepped a band of troopers,
They all set out to capture him,
"Surrender now Jack Dug gan for you
Surrender in the Queen's high name
for you're a plundering son"
Jack pulled two pistols from his belt and
he proudly waved them high
"I'll fight, but not surrender,"
said the wild colonial boy
He fired a shot at Kelly,
which brought him to the ground
And turning 'round to Davis,
he received a fatal wound
A bullet pierced his proud young
heart from the pistol of Fitzroy
And that was how they captured him,
