[Verse 1]
Oh Glisten for a moment lads and Amhear me tell my Emtale
How Co'er the sea from GEngland's shore I Amwas condemned to Emsail
The jCury found me Gguilty sir and tAmhen the judge said Emhe
For Amlife Jim Jones I seEmntence you acAmross the stormy sEmea
[Verse 2]
    Gtake my tip before you ship to Amjoin the iron Emgang
Don't Cbe too gay at GBotany Bay or Amelse you'll surely Emhang
Or Celse you'll surely Ghang says he and Amafter that Jim EmJones
     Amhigh upon the Emgallows tree the Amcrows will pick your Embones
[Verse 3]
You'll Ghave no chance for mischief there reAmmember what I sEmay
They'll Cflog the poaching Gout of you out Amthere at Botany EmBay
The Cwaves were high upGon the sea the Amwind approaching Emgales
I'd Amrather drowned in miseEmry than come to AmNew South WalesEm  
[Verse 4]
The Gwinds were high upon the sea when the Ampirates came aloEmng
But the Csoldiers on our Gconvict ship were Amfull five hundred Emstrong
They Copened fire and Gsomehow drove that Ampirate ship aEmway
I'd Amrather joined that Empirate ship than Amgone to Botany BEmay
[Verse 5]
For Gnight and day the irons clang and Amlike poor galley Emslaves
We Ctoil and toil and wGhen we die must fAmill dishonored grEmaves
But Cbye and bye I'll brGeak my chains intAmo the bush I'll Emgo
And Amjoin the bold bushrEmangers there Jack AmDonahoo and EmCo
[Verse 6]
And Gsome dark night when everything is Amsilent in this tEmown
I'll Ckill the tyrants oGne by one and sAmhoot the floggers Emdown
I'll Cgive the law a Glittle shock remAmember what I saEmy
They'll Amyet regret they sEment Jim Jones in cAmhains to Botany EmBay
[alternative verses 5 and 6]
GAnd one dark night when everythAming is quiet iEmn the town,
I'll kCill you bastarGds one and all, AmI'll gun the floggEmers down.
I'lCl give them all a lGittle shock, remembAmer what I sayEm  
They'Amll yet regreEmt they sent Jim JonAmes in chains to BotanEmy Bay.
GNow day and night in irons clad Amwe like poor Emgalley slaves
Toil aCnd toil and whGen we die must Amfill dishonored graEmves
By Cand by I'll break mG' chains and to the Ambush I'll goEm  
And yAmou'll be deaEmd behind me, John, Amwhen I get to Mexico.Em

[Verse 1]

G Am Em

Oh listen for a moment lads and hear me tell my tale

C G Am Em

How o'er the sea from England's shore I was condemned to sail

C G Am Em

The jury found me guilty sir and then the judge said he

Am Em Am Em

For life Jim Jones I sentence you across the stormy sea

[Verse 2]

G Am Em

take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang

C G Am Em

Don't be too gay at Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang

C G Am Em

Or else you'll surely hang says he and after that Jim Jones

Am Em Am Em

high upon the gallows tree the crows will pick your bones

[Verse 3]

G Am Em

You'll have no chance for mischief there remember what I say

C G Am Em

They'll flog the poaching out of you out there at Botany Bay

C G Am Em

The waves were high upon the sea the wind approaching gales

Am Em Am Em

I'd rather drowned in misery than come to New South Wales

[Verse 4]

G Am Em

The winds were high upon the sea when the pirates came along

C G Am Em

But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong

C G Am Em

They opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away

Am Em Am Em

I'd rather joined that pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay

[Verse 5]

G Am Em

For night and day the irons clang and like poor galley slaves

C G Am Em

We toil and toil and when we die must fill dishonored graves

C G Am Em

But bye and bye I'll break my chains into the bush I'll go

Am Em Am Em

And join the bold bushrangers there Jack Donahoo and Co

[Verse 6]

G Am Em

And some dark night when everything is silent in this town

C G Am Em

I'll kill the tyrants one by one and shoot the floggers down

C G Am Em

I'll give the law a little shock remember what I say

Am Em Am Em

They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay

[alternative verses 5 and 6]

G Am Em

And one dark night when everything is quiet in the town,

C G Am Em

I'll kill you bastards one and all, I'll gun the floggers down.

C G Am Em

I'll give them all a little shock, remember what I say

Am Em Am Em

They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay.

G Am Em

Now day and night in irons clad we like poor galley slaves

C G Am Em

Toil and toil and when we die must fill dishonored graves

C G Am Em

By and by I'll break m' chains and to the bush I'll go

Am Em Am Em

And you'll be dead behind me, John, when I get to Mexico.
