andy irvine - moreton bay lyrics
i am a native of the land of erin
that was early banished from my native shore
on the ship columbus went circular sailing
and i left behind me the girl i adore
on the bounding billows that were loudly raging
bold sea mariners our course did steer
we were bound for sydney our destination
and every day cold irons wore
o moreton bay you’ll find no equal
norfolk island and emu plains
at castle hill and cursed toongabbie
and all time places in new south wales
when i arrived it was in port jackson
and i thought my days would happy be
i soon found out i was greatly mistaken
i was taken as prisoner to moreton bay
for three long years i was beastly treated
and heavy irons on my legs i wore
my back from flogging it was lacerated
and of_times painted with crimson gore
like the egyptians and the ancient hebrews
we were oppressed under logan’s yoke
till a native black there he lay in ambush
and he gave the tyrant a mortal stroke
now fellow prisoners be exhilarated
that all such monsters such a death may find
and when from bondage we are liberated
our former suffering shall fade from mind
