letra de the unfortunate tale of billy hunt - flap (band)
lend me your attention for one moment
’cause i’ve a tale to tell
of a convict known as billy hunt
who near escaped from h-ll
his detention at port arthur
broke his cage and flew away
flying like some sweet canary
dressed in yellow, dressed in grey
and because the dogs were chained up to the waters
and the troopers watched the ground
when poor billy got to eagle hawk
he could not get around
but by fate, or maybe fortune
billy spied the guard was dead
of an old grey kangaroo, stained and all the grass was red
oh, poor billy
oh, poor billy
oh, poor billy
oh, poor billy
well, billy got this kangaroo and flayed him
scammed this boomer of his hide
[?] his guts down on the grass and he hid himself inside
and then that billy got to hopping, hopping
hoping to get through
if only he could make the troopers think that he was a kangaroo
billy, won’t you jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
billy, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
billy, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run now
billy, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run now
billy, run
oh, so billy kept a-hopping
and by luck, guards were fooled by his disguise
‘kangaroo meat for the pot’, they said, with their hungry eyes
they got their rifles out and aimed them
and they nearly shot him dead
when they [?] went to k!ll him
he raised his head and cried
(oh, poor billy)
oh, i’m not a kangaroo (oh, poor billy)
it’s just me, billy, poor billy (oh, poor billy)
oh, i’m not a kangaroo (oh, poor billy)
it’s just me, billy, try’na get through (oh, poor billy)
i’m gonna win my back, and though my back [?] is red (oh, poor billy)
[?] wish that i was dead (oh, poor billy)
[?] (oh, poor billy)
[?] or we’ll see the shadow [?] (oh, poor billy)
oh, i’m not a kangaroo (oh, poor billy)
it’s just me, billy, poor billy (oh, poor billy)
oh, i’m not a kangaroo (oh, poor billy)
i’m not a kangaroo
