 -5    7  7  7   7  7   7     7
There was a wild co-lo-nial youth
 7   -7   7  -6*  7   -7
Jack Doo-lan was his name
-88 -8   7   7   7   7   7
Of poor but hon-est par-ents
7   7  -6*  -5 -5   6   -6
He was born in Cas-tle-maine
7   6   5  5    -5   6 -6*  7
He was his fa-ther’s on-ly hope
 6   -5   5   -4 5  -5
His moth-er’s on—ly joy
-5    6   5   5   -5   6   -6*
The pride of both his par-ents
 7 -6*6  -7  7 -6*  7    7
Was the wild co-lo-nial boy
 -9   -8  9   -9   7
Come, all my hear-ties
 -5     8   -8   -7   -8   8
We’ll range the moun-tain side
-5  8   -8 -7  -8   8   -5
To-geth-er we will plun-der
-5  8   -8 -7  7    -7
To-geth-er we will ride
 -5    -9   9  -8   9  -9   7
We’ll scour a-long the val-leys
-5   8  -8   -7  -8    8
And gal-lop o’er the plains
-9  -9   10  -9  9  -8  9  -9
We scorn to live in sla-ve-ry
  7    -8   -7  7 -6*   7
Bound down with i-ron chains
