He was born and bred in Ireland,
in a place called Castle Vane.
He was his mother's only son,
his father's pride and joy.
And dearly did his parents love
At the early age of sixteen years
And to Australia's sunny shore
He robbed the rich to help the poor,
was the wild colonial boy
One morning on the prairie
while Jack again rode along
Of jumb 'ry troopers armed with guns,
named Davis, Teddy, Fitzroy
They all set out to capture him,
He fired a shot at Kenny's chest
that brought him to the ground
An d turning round to Davis
he re ceived a fatal wound
A bullet pierced his brave young heart
from the pistol of Fitzroy
And that was how they captured him,
