[ti:Jim Jones] [ar:Bob Dylan] [al:Original Album Classics] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Jim Jones - Bob Dylan [00:04.66]Come and listen for a moment lads [00:06.73]And hear me tell my tale [00:09.92]How across the sea from England [00:13.60]I was condemned to sail [00:17.62]Now the jury found me guilty [00:21.12]Then says the judge says he [00:25.42]"Oh for life Jim Jones I'm sending you [00:30.20]Across the stormy sea [00:32.55]But take a tip before you ship [00:39.58]To join the iron gang [00:42.57]Don't get too gay in Botany Bay [00:47.25]Or else you'll surely hang [00:50.17]Or else you'll surely hang" says he [00:54.68]"And after that Jim Jones [00:57.36]It's high above on the gallows tree [01:01.49]The crows will pick your bones" [01:04.74]And our ship was high upon the sea [01:19.14]When pirates came along [01:20.84]But the soldiers on our convict ship [01:26.57]Were full five hundred strong [01:30.37]For they opened fire and somehow drove [01:33.49]That pirate ship away [01:35.61]But I'd rather have joined that pirate ship [01:41.18]Than gone to Botany Bay [01:43.32]With the storms ragin' round us [01:49.56]And the winds a-blowin' gale [01:52.74]I'd rather have drowned in misery [01:57.61]Than gone to New South Wales [02:01.04]There's no time for mischief there they say [02:05.09]Remember that says they [02:07.97]Or they'll flog the poaching out of you [02:12.90]Down there in Botany Bay [02:15.45]Now it's day and night and the irons clang [02:29.50]And like poor galley slaves [02:32.55]We toil and toil and when we die [02:37.04]Must fill dishonored graves [02:39.35]And it's by and by I'll slip my chains [02:44.03]Well into the bush I'll go [02:47.03]And I'll join the bravest rankers there [02:51.24]Jack Donohue and co [02:53.30]And some dark night when everything [02:57.98]Is silent in the town [03:00.72]I'll shoot those tyrants one and all [03:05.59]I'll gun the floggers down [03:08.21]Oh I'll give the land a little shock [03:13.10]Remember what I say [03:15.72]They'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones [03:20.84]In chains to Botany Bay
