By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young girl cal-ling
 
MI                 
LA         
SI7
"Michael, they have taken you away
        
MI                
LA
For you stole Trevelyan's corn
       
MI                  
SI7
So the young might see the morn

Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"

Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    
MI              
LA
Our love was on the wing 
       
MI                  
SI
we had dreams and songs to sing

"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
            
MI             
LA
Against the famine and the crown
    
MI

I rebelled, they cut me down

Now you must raise our child with dignity"

By a lonely harbour wall

She watched the last star fal-ling
        
MI                 
LA              
SI7
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
        
MI                
LA
For she lived in hope and pray
        
MI

For her love in Botany Bay
