Back Home In Derry | |
Wykonawca : Sands Bobby | |
In 1803 we sailed out to sea | a C |
Out from the sweet town of Derry | G D a |
For Australia bound if we didn't all drown | a C |
And the marks of our fetters we carried | G D a |
In our rusty iron chains we sighed for our wains | a e |
Our good women we left in sorrow | a e |
As the mainsails unfurled, our curses we hurled | a C |
On the English, and thoughts of tomorrow | G D a |
Chorus: | |
Oh..... I wish I was back home in Derry | C G a G a |
Oh..... I wish I was back home in Derry | C G a G a |
At the mouth of the Foyle, bid farewell to the soil | |
As down below decks we were lying | |
O'Doherty screamed, woken out of a dream | |
By a vision of bold Robert dying | |
The sun burned cruel as we dished out the gruel | |
Dan O'Connor was down with a fever | |
Sixty rebels today bound for Botany Bay | |
How many will meet their reciever | |
Chorus: | |
I cursed them to hell as her bow fought the swell | |
Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight | |
White horse rode high as the devil passed by | |
Taking souls to Hades by twilight | |
Five weeks out to sea, we were now forty-three | |
Our comrades we buried each morning | |
In our own slime we were lost in a time | |
Of endless night without dawning | |
Chorus: | |
Van Diemen's land is a hell for a man | |
To live out his whole life in slavery | |
Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law | |
Neither wind nor rain care for bravery | |
Twenty years have gone by, I've ended my bond | |
My comrades ghosts walk behind me | |
A rebel I came - I'm still the same | |
On the cold winters night you will find me | |
