the jolly rogers - botany bay lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m on my way down to the quay where the ship at anchor lays
to command a gang of navvies that they told me to engage
i thought i’d drop in for a drink before i went away
for to take a trip on an immigrant ship to the shores of botany bay

[verse 2]
the boss came up this morning, he says, “well, pat, you know
if you don’t get your navvys out, i’m afraid you’ll have to go”
so i asked him for my wages and demanded all my pay!
for i told him straight i’m going to emigrate to the shores of botany bay!

[chorus]
farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lime
farewell to your gangers and your gang planks and to h_ll with your overtime
for the good ship ragam_ffin, she’s lying at the quay
for to take old pat with a shovel on his back to the shores of botany bay
[verse 3]
and when i reach australia i’ll go and look for gold!
there’s plenty there for digging of, or so i have been told
or else i’ll go back to my trade eight hundreds bricks i’ll lay
in an eight hour day for eight bob pay on the shores of botany bay

[chorus]
farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lime
farewell to your gangers and your gang planks and to h_ll with your overtime
for the good ship ragam_ffin, she’s lying at the quay
for to take old pat with a shovel on his back to the shores of botany bay
for to take old pat with a shovel on his back to the shores of botany bay
for to take old pat with a shovel on his back to the shores of botany bay
