ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
One Sunday morning as I went walking
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
By Brisbane Waters I chanced to stray
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I heard a convict his fate bewailing
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
As on the sunny riverbank he lay
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I am a native of Arran Island
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
But banished now from my native shore
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
They stole me from my independence
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And from the maiden whom I do adore
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I've been a prisoner at Port Macquarie
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Fm[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
At Norfolk Island and Emu Plains
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
At Castle Hill and cursed Toongabbie
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
At all these settlements I've been in chains
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But of all places of condemnation
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
And penal stations in New South Wales
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
To Moreton Bay I have found no equal
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Excessive tyranny each day prevails
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
For three long years I was beastly treated
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
And heavy irons on my legs I wore
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
My back from flogging was lacerated
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
And oft times covered with my crimson gore
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And many a man from downright starvation
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
Lies mouldering now beneath the clay
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And Captain Logan he had us mangled
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
On the triangles of Moreton Bay
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Like the Egyptians and ancient Hebrews
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
We were oppressed under Logan's yoke
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Till a native black lying there in ambush
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Did deal our tyrant with his mortal stroke
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
My fellow prisoners be exhilarated
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
That all such monsters like death shall find
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And when from bondage we're extricated
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Our former suffering will fade from mind
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
One Sunday morning as I was walking
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A/C#[/ch] [ch]B7[/ch
By Brisbane Waters I chanced to stray
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I heard a convict his fate bewailing
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Esus4[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
As on the sunny riverbank he lay
