 G                                                     Em                   C                                   G 
Farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lime
                                                     Em                                                 A7                                 D 
Farewell to your gangways and your gangplanks and to hell with your overtime
                 G                           Em               C                       G 
For the good ship Raggamuffin is lying at the quay
               Em                                                                                                                                 D 
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back to the shores of Botany Bay
 G                                   Em                                         C                           G 
I'm on my way down to the quay, where the ship at anchor lay
                                           Em                               A7                     D 
To command a gang of navvies that they told me to engage
     G                                       Em               C                           G 
I thought I would stop in awhile before I went away
               Em                                                                                                                   D 
For to take a trip on an emigrant ship to the shores of Botany Bay
 G                                                     Em                   C                                   G 
Farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lime
                                                     Em                                                 A7                                 D 
Farewell to your gangways and your gangplanks and to hell with your overtime
                 G                           Em               C                       G 
For the good ship Raggamuffin is lying at the quay
               Em                                                                                                                               D 
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back to the shores of Botany Bay
 G                                           Em                         C                           G 
The boss comes up this morning and he says to me "hello
                                             Em                                   A7                                   D 
If you don't mix your mortar right, I'm afraid you'll have to go"
             G                           Em                 C                             G 
Well, since he did insult me, I demanded all my pay
             Em                                                                                                                               D 
And I told him straight I was gonna emigrate to the shores of Botany Bay
 G                                                     Em                   C                                   G 
Farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lime
                                                     Em                                                 A7                                 D 
Farewell to your gangways and your gangplanks and to hell with your overtime
                 G                           Em               C                       G 
For the good ship Raggamuffin is lying at the quay
               Em                                                                                                                               D 
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back to the shores of Botany Bay
 G                                     Em                     C                           G 
And when I reach Australia, I'll go and dig for gold
                                                           Em                       A7                         D 
There's plenty there for the digging up or so I have been told
       G                                 Em                               C                                     G 
Or else I'll go back to my trade and a hundred bricks I'll lay
             Em                                                                                                                               D 
Eight bob I'll lift for an eight hour shift on the shores of Botany Bay
 G                                                     Em                   C                                   G 
Farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lime
                                                     Em                                                 A7                                 D 
Farewell to your gangways and your gangplanks and to hell with your overtime
                 G                           Em               C                       G 
For the good ship Raggamuffin is lying at the quay
               Em                                                                                                                               D           G 
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back to the shores of Botany Bay
