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" "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." "You'll have no chance of mischief there, remember what I say They'll flog the poachin' out of you out there in Botany Bay." Waves were high upon the seas, the wind approached in gales I'd rather drowned in misery than come to New South Wales The waves were high upon the seas 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 join that pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay 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 Give them all little shot, remember what I say They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay
I hear this song every day. I don't know why but this song fills my soul. Your voice is just wonderful and touches me very deeply. Thank God for this gift of touching souls because I am not talking about lyrics but about intense talent.
Even as a beginner guitar player, I would love it if there were a tab for this version out there that I could work up to learning. It's the best guitar arrangement I've heard. So pretty. The singer has such a lovely voice, too.
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/misc-unsigned-bands/jennifer-jason-leigh-jim-jones-at-botany-bay-tabs-1800644. its not the same, but still sounds good :))
Genuinely the best cover. Janet Devlinesque tones in your voice. My main compliment is your voice is crisp. Lyrics were the clearest I've heard, beautiful voice. A lot of the covers seems autotuned and artificial. This cover is great. Great job from the guitarist.
I watch this video from time to time and enjoy listening to it. But I have not seen the rest of their videos until now. I just realized they haven't had any activity for almost 6 years and I think this is very strange! I don't know much about music, but this one is amazing! What happened to them? Does anyone know about them?
Это круто! Я тоже убегу из своей тюрьмы!!! Хороший будет им урок...Будут помнить. В России есть народная песня про парня которого везут в тюрьму, но он не боится, пусть его боятся. @
