For the good ship Raggamuffin is lying at the quay

I'm on my way down to the quay, where the ship at anchor lay
           E minorEm        A7A7      D MajorD
To command a gang of navvies that they told me to engage
 G+G          E minorEm    C majorC       G+G
I thought I would stop in awhile before I went away

For to take a trip on an emigrant ship to the shores of Botany Bay

The boss comes up this morning and he says to me "hello
           E minorEm         A7A7         D MajorD
If you don't mix your mortar right, I'm afraid you'll have to go"
   G+G       E minorEm     C majorC        G+G
Well, since he did insult me, I demanded all my pay
   E minorEm                                D MajorD
And I told him straight I was gonna emigrate to the shores of Botany Bay

And when I reach Australia, I'll go and dig for gold
               E minorEm      A7A7       D MajorD
There's plenty there for the digging up or so I have been told
  G+G         E minorEm        C majorC          G+G
Or else I'll go back to my trade and a hundred bricks I'll lay
   E minorEm                                D MajorD
Eight bob I'll lift for an eight hour shift on the shores of Botany Bay
