(C) There was a (C7) wild co(F)lonial (Dm) boy, Jack (G7) Duggan was his (C) name.

He was born and raised in (G7) Ireland, in a (F) place called (G7) Castle (C) main.

He was his father's (G7) only son his (F) mother's (G7) pride and (C) joy.

And dearly (C7) did his (F) parents (Dm) love the (G7) Wild Colonial (C) Boy.

(C)At the early (C7) age of (F) sixteen (Dm) years he(G7) left his native (C) home.

And through Australia's (G7)sunny clime (F) he was (G7) inclined to (C) roam.

He robbed the lordly (G7) squatters, their (F) flocks he (G7)would des (C) troy.

A terror (C7) to Aus (F) tralia (Dm) was the (G7) Wild Colonial (C) Boy.

(C) For two (C7) long (F) years this (Dm) daring youth (G7) ran on his wild (C) career,

With a heart that knew (G7) no danger, their (F) justice (G7) did not (C) fear.

He stuck the Beechworth (G7) coach up and he (F) robbed (G7) judge Mc (C) Evoy,

Who, trembling, (C7) gave his (F) gold up to the (G7) Wild Colonial (C) Boy.

(C)He bade the (C7) judge (F) 'Good morning' (Dm) and he (G7) told him to be (C) ware,

For he never robbed an honest (G7) judge what (F) acted (G7) "on the (C) square"

'Yet you would (G7) rob a (F) mother of her son and (G7) only (C) joy, and breed (C7) a race of (F) outlaws,

(Dm) like the (G7) Wild Colonial (C) Boy.

(C) One morning (C7) on the (F) prairie (Dm) wild Jack (G7) Duggan rode (C) along,

While listening to the (G7) mocking (F) birds singing a (G7) cheerful (C) song.

Out jumped three (G7) troopers fierce and grim, (F) Kelly, (G7) Davis and Fitz(C)roy,

They all (C7) set out (F) to capture (Dm) him, the (G7) Wild Colonial (C) Boy.

(C)'Surrender now,(C7) Jack (F)Duggan, you (Dm) can see (G) there's three to (C) one,

Surrender in the Queen's name,(G7) sir, you are (F) a (G7)plundering (C) son'.

Jack drew two (G7) pistols from his (F) side and (G7) glared upon (C) Fitzroy,

'I'll fight, (C7) but not (F) surrender' (Dm) cried the (G7) Wild Colonial (C) Boy.
