             C                         F                             G7                         C 
There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name
                                                     G       G7                                                   C 
He was born and raised in Ireland, in a place called Castlemaine
                                         G       G7                                                   C 
He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy
                                       F                               G           G7         C 
And dearly did his parents love the wild colonial boy
               C                       F                               G7                           C 
At the early age of sixteen years he left his native home
                                       G         G7                                               C 
And to Australia's sunny shore, he was inclined to roam
                                               G                   G7                                         C 
He robbed the rich, he helped the poor, he shot James MacEvoy
                               F                           G           G7         C 
A terror to Australia was the wild colonial boy
         C                           F                       G7                       C 
One morning on the prairie, as Jack he rode along

                                           G                 G7                                     C 
Up stepped a band of troopers: Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy
                                         F                               G           G7         C 
They all set out to capture him, the wild colonial boy
     C                                 F                             G7                                 C 
Surrender now, Jack Duggan, for you see we're three to one
                                   G                     G7                                                 C 
Surrender in the King's high name, you are a plundering son
                                             G               G7                                                   C 
Jack drew two pistols from his belt, he proudly waved them high
                                         F                                     G           G7         C 
I'll fight, but not surrender, said the wild colonial boy
       C                             F                       G7                                 C 
He fired a shot at Kelly, which brought him to the ground
                                           G           G7                                   C 
And turning round to Davis, he received a fatal wound
                                           G                     G7                                                     C 
A bullet pierced his proud young heart, from the pistol of Fitzroy
                                             F                                 G           G7         C 
And that was how they captured him, the wild colonial boy
