Jim Jones At Botany Bay Lyrics - The Hateful Eight - Ennio Morricone

Listen for a moment lads 

And hear me tell my tale 

How o'er the sea from England shore 

I was condemned to sail 

The jury found me guilty, sir 

And said the judge, said he 

"For life, Jim Jones, I sentence you 

Across the stormy sea" 

But take my tip before you ship 

To join the iron gang 

Don't be too gay in Botany Bay 

Or else you'll surely hang 

"Or else you'll surely hang," says he 

"And after that, Jim Jones 

High up upon the gallows tree 

The crows will pick your bones"

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

You'll have no chance for mischief there 

Remember what I say 

They'll flog the poaching out of you 

Out there in Botany Bay 

The waves were high upon the sea, 

the wind approached in gales 

I'd rather drowned in misery 

Than gone to New South Wales 

The waves were high upon the sea 

When the pirates came along 

But the soldiers on our convict ship 

Were full five hundred strong 

They opened fire and somehow drove 

That pirate ship away 

I'd rather joined that pirate ship 

Than gone to Botany Bay 

Photos 

And one dark night, when everything 

Is quiet in the town 

I'll kill you bastards one and all 

I'll gun the floggers down 

I'll give them a little shot 

Remember what I say 

They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones 

In chains to Botany Bay //// 

Now day and night and the irons clang 

And like poor galley slaves Toil and toil, 

and when we die Must fill dishonored graves 

By and by I'll break my chains 

and to the bush I'll go 

And you'll be dead behind me, John, 

when I get to Mexico
