bound for van dieman's land - daoirí farrell lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i’ll ne’er forget when first we met
the years were long and lean
a war did rage upon the stage
and a ship sailed on the scene;
it’s true to say life’s but a play
a play that’s been well planned;
we play our roles like poor lost souls
bound for van dieman’s land

[chorus]
bound for van dieman’s land, brave boys
far, far across the sea;
if you don’t stand with cap in hand
transported you will be

[verse 2]
and as we sail, blows wild the gale
dark shadows guard the grill;
they try in vain our minds to chain
our thoughts of freedom k!ll
and as we sulk in convict hulk
with shackled feet and hands
oh men be free who poachers be
bound for van dieman’s land
[chorus]
bound for van dieman’s land, brave boys
far, far across the sea;
if you don’t stand with cap in hand
transported you will be

[verse 3]
from east or west, man’s but a jest
for freedom’s free for all;
you’re free to die, but don’t ask why
when blows the bugle call;
their heartless lips build convict ships
with bligh still in command;
their ships today still plough their way
bound for van dieman’s land

[chorus]
bound for van dieman’s land, brave boys
far, far across the sea;
if you don’t stand with cap in hand
transported you will be
