 dear - ly   did  his   par-ents love the  wild col - on-ial   boy.___




2 He was scarcely sixteen years of age when he left his father's home,
  And through Australia's sunny clime a bushranger did roam.
  He robbed those wealthy squatters, and their stock he did destroy,
  A terror to the rich man was the wild colonial boy.

3 In sixty-one this daring youth commenced his wild career;
  With a heart that knew no danger, no foe man did he fear.
  He held the Beechworth mail coach up and robbed Judge Macoboy,
  Who trembling cold gave up his gold to the wild colonial boy.

4 One day as he was riding the mountain side along,
  A-list'ning to that kookaburra's happy laughing song,
  He spied three mounted troopers, Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy,
  A-riding up to capture him, the wild colonial boy.

5 'Surrender now, Jack Doolan, for y'see there's three to one.
  Surrender in the Queen's high name, you daring highway man!'
  But he drew a pistol from his belt and spun it like a toy:
  'I'll fight but not surrender,' cried the wild colonial boy.

6 He fired at Trooper Kelly and brought him to the ground,
  And in return from Davis received a mortal wound;
  All shattered through the jaws he lay still firing at Fitzroy,
  And that's the way they captured him, the wild colonial boy.

# In verse 3, the 'sixty-one' denotes 1861.
