| Well, I'm on my way down to the quay | G e C G |
| Where the good ship Nell doth lay | |
| To command a gang of navvies | G e a D |
| I was ordered to engage | |
| I thought I would stop in for a while | G e C G D |
| Before I sailed away | |
| For to take a trip on an immigrant shipe | a H7 e D |
| To the shores of Botany Bay | |
| / G Em / C G / - Em / D - / G Em / C D / Em - / EmD Em / | |
| Farewell to your bricks and mortar | |
| Farewell to your dirty lime | |
| Farewell to your gangway and gang planks | |
| And to Hell with your overtime | |
| For the good ship Ragamuffin | |
| She's lying at the quay | |
| For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back | |
| To the shores of Botany Bay | |
| The best years of our life we spend at | |
| Working on the docks | |
| Building mighty wharves and quays | |
| Of earth and ballast rocks | |
| Though pensions keep our jobs secure | |
| I shan't rue the day | |
| When I take a trip on an immigrant ship | |
| To the shores of Botany Bay | |
| Well, the boss comes up this morning | |
| And he says, "Why, Pat, hello | |
| If you do not mix the mortar quick | |
| To be sure you'll have to go" | |
| Well, of course he did insult me | |
| I demanded all me pay | |
| And I told him straight I was going to emigrate | |
| To the shores of Botany Bay | |
| When I reach Australia | |
| I'll go and search for gold | |
| There's plenty there for digging up | |
| Or so I have been told | |
| Or maybe I'll go back to me trade | |
| Eight hundred bricks I'll lay | |
| For an eight hour shift and an eight bob pay | |
| On the shores of Botany Bay | |
