The Wild Colonial Boy

There was a wild colonial boy.
Jack Duggan was his name.
He was born and bred in Ireland
In a place called Castlemane.
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 land
He was inclined to roam.
He robbed the rich
He helped the poor.
A terror to Australia was
This wild colonial boy.
