There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name
             G+G  G7G7             C majorC
He was born and raised in Ireland, in a place called Castlemaine
          G+G  G7G7             C majorC
He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy
          FF        G+G   G7G7   C majorC
And dearly did his parents love the wild colonial boy


Verse 2:
    C majorC      FF        G7G7       C majorC
At the early age of sixteen years he left his native home
          G+G   G7G7            C majorC
And to Australia's sunny shore, he was inclined to roam
            G+G     G7G7           C majorC
He robbed the rich, he helped the poor, he shot James MacEvoy
        FF       G+G   G7G7   C majorC
A augmentedA terror to Australia was the wild colonial boy

Verse 3:
  C majorC       FF      G7G7      C majorC
One morning on the prairie, as Jack he rode along
          G+G    G7G7             C majorC
A-listening to the mocking bird, a-singing a cheerful song
           G+G     G7G7          C majorC
Up stepped a band of troopers: Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy
          FF        G+G   G7G7   C majorC
They all set out to capture him, the wild colonial boy


Verse 4:
 C majorC         FF        G7G7         C majorC
Surrender now, Jack Duggan, for you see we're three to one
         G+G      G7G7             C majorC
Surrender in the King's high name, you are a plundering son
           G+G    G7G7             C majorC
Jack drew two pistols from his belt, he proudly waved them high
          FF          G+G   G7G7   C majorC
I'll fight, but not surrender, said the wild colonial boy


Verse 5:
  C majorC        FF      G7G7         C majorC
He fired a shot at Kelly, which brought him to the ground
           G+G   G7G7         C majorC
And turning round to Davis, he received a fatal wound
           G+G      G7G7              C majorC
A augmentedA bullet pierced his proud young heart, from the pistol of Fitzroy
           FF         G+G   G7G7   C majorC
And that was how they captured him, the wild colonial boy
