also LYRICS!
Chorus:
Farewell to your bricks and mortar
Farewell to your dirty lime
Farewell to your gangway and gang planks
And to hell with your overtime
For the good ship Ragamuffin
Is lying at the quay
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back
To the shores of Botany Bay.
While on my way down to the key where the ship at anchor lay, to command a gang of navvies that I was told to engage, I stopped in for to drink a while before I go away, for to take trip an immigrant ship to shores of Botany Bay!
Chorus:
Farewell to your bricks and mortar
Farewell to your dirty lime
Farewell to your gangway and gang planks
And to hell with your overtime
For the good ship Ragamuffin
Is lying at the quay
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back
To the shores of Botany Bay.
Well the boss came up this mornin' and he said "Well, Pat y'know, if you didn't get those navvies out, I'm afraid you'll 'ave t'go" So I asked'em for me wages! And Demanded all my pay! And I told'em straight, we would immigrate to the shores of Botany Bay!
Chorus:
Farewell to your bricks and mortar
Farewell to your dirty lime
Farewell to your gangway and gang planks
And to hell with your overtime
For the good ship Ragamuffin
Is lying at the quay
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back
To the shores of Botany Bay.
And when I reach Australia, I'll go and search for gold! There's plenty there for diggin' up, or so I have been told, or else I'll go back to me trade and a hundred bricks I'll lay,because I live for an eight hour shift on the shores of Botany Bay!
Chorus:
Farewell to your bricks and mortar
Farewell to your dirty lies
Farewell to your gangway and gang planks
And to hell with your overtime
For the good ship Ragamuffin
Is lying at the quay
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back
To the shores of Botany Bay.
Farewell to your bricks and mortar
Farewell to your dirty lies
Farewell to your gangway and gang planks
And to hell with your overtime
For the good ship Ragamuffin
Is lying at the quay
For to take old Pat with a shovel on his back
To the shores of Botany Bay!
