The Shores of Botany Bay

So farewell to your bricks and mortar
 Farewell to your dirty lies
 Farewell to your gangers and your gangplanks
 And to hell with your overtime
 For the good ship Ragamuffin
 She's lying at the quay
 For to take old Pat
 With a shovel on his back
 To the shores of Botany Bay
 Ay!
 ♪
 I'm on my way down to the quay
 Where the good ship anchor lies
 To command a gang of navvies
 I was told to engage
 I thought I'd stop in for a drink
 'Fore I go away
 For to take a trip on that immigrant ship
 To the shores of Botany Bay
 Oh, farewell to your bricks and mortar
 Farewell to your dirty lies
 Farewell to your gangers and your gangplanks
 And to hell with your overtime
 For the good ship Ragamuffin
 Who's lying at the quay
 For to take old Pat
 With a shovel on his back
 To the shores of Botany Bay
 Hey!
 ♪
 Well, the boss came down this morning
 He says, "Pat, you know
 If you don't get those navvies out
 I'm afraid you'll have to go"
 So I asked him for my wages
 Demanded all my pay
 And I told him straight I'm gonna emigrate to
 The Shores of Botany Bay
 Oh, farewell to your bricks and mortar
 Farewell to your dirty lies
 Farewell to your gangers and your gangplanks
 And to hell with your overtime
 For the good ship Ragamuffin
 Who's lying at the quay
 For to take old Pat
 With a shovel on his back
 To the shores of Botany Bay
 Hey!
 ♪
 Oh, and when I reach Australia
 I'll go and look for gold
 Oh, there's plenty there for diggin' up
 Or so I've been told
 Or else I'll go back to my trade
 A hundred bricks I'll lay
 Because I live for the eight hour shifts
 On the Shores of Botany Bay
 Oh, farewell to your bricks and mortar
 Farewell to your dirty lies
 Farewell to your gangers and your gangplanks
 And to hell with your overtime
 For the good ship Ragamuffin
 Who's lying at the quay
 For to take old Pat
 With a shovel on his back
 To the shores of Botany Bay
 Hey! (hey!)
