Bound For Botany Bay - The Outlanders

Farewell to Old England forever

Farewell to my old pals as well

Farewell to the well-known Old Bailee

Where I once used to look such a swell

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty

For we’re bound for Botany Bay

There’s the captain as is our commander

There’s the bo’sun and all the ship’s crew

There’s the first and the second class passengers

Knows what we poor convicts goes through.

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty

For we’re bound for Botany Bay

Taint leaving Old England we cares about,

Taint 'cos we mispells wot we knows

But becos all we light fingered gentry

Hop’s around with a log on our toes.

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty

For we’re bound for Botany Bay

Now all my young Dookies and Duchesses

Take warning from what I’ve to say

Mind all is your own as you toucheses

Or you’ll find us in Botany Bay

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty

For we’re bound for Botany Bay.

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay

Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty

For we’re bound for Botany Bay.

Yes we’re bound for Botany Bay.
