W:He was born and raised in Ireland in a place called Castlemaine. W:He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy. W:And dearly did his parents love the Wild Colonial Boy. W: W:2 W:At the early age of sixteen years he left his native home, W:And to Australia's sunny land he was inclined to roam. W:He robbed the rich, he helped the poor, he stabbed James MacEvoy. W:A terror to Australia was the Wild Colonial Boy. W: W:3 W:One morning on the prairie, wild Jack Duggan rode along W:While listening to the mockingbird, singing a cheerful song. W:Out jumped three troopers, fierce and grim; Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy. W:They'd all set out to capture him, the Wild Colonial Boy. W: W:4 W:Surrender now, Jack Duggan, come; you see there's three to one. W:Surrender in the Queen's name, sir; you are a plundering son. W:Jack drew two pistols from his side, and glared upon Fitzroy W:I'll fight but not surrender, cried the Wild Colonial Boy. W: W:5 W:He fired a shot at Kelly, which brought him to the ground. W:He fired point bank at Davis, too, who fell dead at the sound. W:But a bullet pierced his brave young heart, from the pistol of Fitzroy. W:And that was how they captured him, the Wild Colonial Boy.
