D5
One Sunday morning
D5
While I was out walking
F5 
By the Brisbane's waters
A5
I chanced to stray
D5
There I found a prisoner

Layed half in the water
F5
He'd seen me coming
A5
And he began to say


D5
I was a native of Erin's Ireland
F5
And before I was brought
A5
To this terrible place
D5
They dragged me away
D5
From my wife and newborn
F5                    A5
And my ailing parents
G5
I've been a prisoner at Port Macquarie
D5
Norfolk Island and Emu Plains
G5
At Castle Hill and cursed Toongabbie
B5
At all of these settlements
B5
I've worked in chains
G5
But of all the places of condemnation
D5
At each penal station of New South Wales
G5
To Moreton Bay I've found no equal
B5
The tyranny there makes all the rest pale
