Testo Bold Jack Donahue - Fotheringay

Testo della canzone Bold Jack Donahue (Fotheringay), tratta dall'album "2"

Come all you sons of liberty

And everyone besides

I'll sing to you a story that

Will fill you with surprise

Concerning of a bold bushranger

Jack Donahue was his name

And he scorned to uphold to the crown

Bound down with iron chains

Now Donahue was taken

All for a notorious crime

And sentenced to be hanged

Upon the gallows tree so high

But when they took him to Belfast gaol

He left them in a stew

For when they came to go for the rope

They missed Jack Donahue

Now when Donahue made his escape

To the bush he went straightway

The squatters, they were all afraid

To travel by night and by day

And every day in the newspapers

They brought out something new

Concerning that bold bushranger

They called Jack Donahue

Now one beauty as he was riding

The mountainsides above

Not thinking that the pains of death

Would overtake him soon

When all he spied the horse police

Well, on they came up into view

And in double-quick time they did advance

To take Jack Donahue

Oh, Donahue, oh, Donahue

Go down ye carmine

For do you intend to fight us all?

I will yet not resign

To surrender to such cowardly dogs

Is a thing that I never would do

Well, this day I'll fight with all me might

Cried bold Jack Donahue

Well, the sergeant and the corporal

Their men they did divide

Some fired at him from behind

And some from every side

The sergeant and the corporal

They both fired at him too

And a rifle bullet pierced the heart

Of bold Jack Donahue

Now nine rounds he fired and nine men down

Before that fatal fall

And pierced his heart and made it scarred

And caused him for to fall

And as he closed his mournful eyes

He bid the world adieu

Saying, "Convicts all, pray for the soul

Of bold Jack Donahue"
