Moreton Bay (摩顿湾) - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)
One sunday morning as I was walking
By brisbane waters I chance to stray

I heard a convict his fait bewhaling
As on the sunny riverbank he lay

I am a native of erin ireland
But banished now from my native shore

They stole me from my independence

And from the maiden whom I do adore

I've been a prisoner at port macquarie

At norfolk island and emu plains

At castle ule and curstune garbby
At all these settlements I've been enchained

But of all places of condemnation
And penal stations in new south wales

To moreton bay I have found no equal
Excessive tyranny each day prevails

For three long years I was beastly treated
And heavy irons on my legs I wore

My back from flogging was lacerated
And oft times covered with my crimson gore

And many a man from downright starvation
Lies smouldering now beneath the cave

And captain logan he had us mangled
On the triangles of moreton bay

Like the egyptians and ancient hebrews
We were oppressed under logan's yoh
Till a native black lying bare and ambush
Did deal out tyrant with his mortal stroke
My fellow prisoners be exhilerated
Let all such monsters like death shall find

And when from bondage we're extricated
Our former suffering shall will fade from mind

One sunday morning as I was walking

By brisbane waters I chance to stray

I heard a convict his fait bewhaling

As on the sunny riverbank he lay
