Botany Bay
Farewell to Old England forever Farewell to my rum culls as well Farewell to the well known Old Bailee Where I used for to cut such a swell
Chorus Singing toorali-orali-addity Singing toorali-oolari-ai Singing toorali-ollari-addity We're bound for Botany Bay
Chorus
'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.
Chorus
There's the captain as is our commander, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com there's bo'sun and all the ship's crew there's first and the second class passengers, Knows what we poor convicts goes through
Chorus
Oh had I wings of a turtle-dove, I'd soar on my pinions so high, Slap bang to the arms of my Polly love, And in her sweet presence I'd die
Chorus
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,
Chorus x2
