The Wild Colonial Boy - Victor Young

There was a wild colonial boy.

Jack Duggan was his name.

He was born and bred in Ireland

In a place called Castlemane.

He was his father’s only son;

His mother’s pride and joy.

And dearly did his parents love

The wild colonial boy.

At the early age of sixteen years

He left his native home,

And to Australia’s sunny land

He was inclined to roam.

He robbed the rich

He helped the poor.

A terror to Australia was

This wild colonial boy.
