botany bay - bilge pumps lyrics

Loading...

farewell to your bricks and mortar farewell to your dirty lime
farewell to your gangers and gang planks, and to h-ll with your over time
for the good ship ragam-ffin she’s lying at the quay
to take old pat with a shovel on his back to the sh-r-s of botany bay

i’m on my way down to the quay where the ship at anchor lays
to command a gang of navvys that they told me to engage
i thought i’d drop in for a drink before i went away
for to take a trip on an emigrant ship to the sh-r-s of botany bay

chorus

the boss came up this morning, he says “well pat you know
if you don’t get your navvys out i’m afraid you’ll have to go”
so i asked him for my wages and demanded all my pay
for i told him straight, i’m going to emigrate to the sh-r-s of botany bay

chorus

and when i reach australia i’ll go and look for gold
there’s plenty there for the digging of, or so i have been told
or else i’ll go back to my trade and a hundred bricks i’ll lay
because i live for an eight hour shift on the sh-r-s of botany bay

chorus
