There was a Wild Colonial Boy Jack Duggan was his name He was born and raised in Ireland in a place called Castlemain He was his father's only son his mother's pride and joy And dearly did his parents love the Wild Colonial Boy At the early age of sixteen years he left his native home And to Australia's sunny shore he was inclined to roam He robbed the rich to help the poor He shot James McEvoy A terror to Australia was the Wild Colonial Boy One morning on the prairie as Jack he rode along A listening to the mocking bird singing a mocking song Up rode three mounted troopers Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy And they all set out to capture him, the Wild Colonial Boy Surrender now, Jack Duggan Can't you see we're three to one Surrender in the Queen's high name You are a plundering son Jack drew two pistols from his belt and proudly waved them high I'll fight but not surrender, said the Wild Colonial Boy He fired a shot at Kelly that brought him to the ground And turning then 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, the Wild Colonial Boy
