Botany Bay
edit
Refrain Fare- D well to your bricks and Bm mortar, Fare- G well to your A dirty lies D . Fare- D well to your gangways Bm and your gang planks, And to Em hell with your over- A time. For the D good ship Rag- Bm amuffin is G lying A at the D Quay, For to Bm take out Pat with a shovel on his back To the shores of A Botany D Bay.
Verse 1 While D on my way down Bm to the quay where the G ship at A anchor D lays To D command a gang of Bm navvys that Em I was told to A engage I D stopped in for to Bm drink awhile be- G fore I A go D away. For to Bm take a trip on an emigrant ship to the shores of A Botany D Bay.
Verse 2 Well D the boss came up this Bm morning, and he G said "Well A Pat you D know If you D didn't get those Bm navvys out I'm a- Em fraid you'll have to A go " So I D asked him for my Bm wages and de- G manded A all my D pay And I Bm told him straight, we would all emigrate to the shores of A Botany D Bay.
Verse 3 And D when I reach Aus- Bm tralia I'll G go and A search for D gold. There's D plenty there for Bm digging up, or Em so I have been A told. Or D else I'll go back to Bm my trade and a G hundred A bricks I'll D lay Be- Bm cause I live for an eight hour shift on the shores of A Botany D Bay.
