letra de jim jones at botany bay - jennifer jason leigh
listen for a moment, lads
and hear me tell my tale
how o’er the sea
from england sh-r-
i was condemned to sail
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 g-y 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 k!ll you b-st-rds 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

that’s the one you like to sing in the stagecoach, huh?
yeah…
it’s kind of pretty. got another verse to it?
yeah, lots
well, go ahead. sing it
whatever you say, john…
now day and night
the irons clang
and like poor galley slaves
toil and toil
and when we die must fill dishonored graves
by and by, i’ll break my chains
into the bush, i’ll go…
and you’ll be dead…
behind me, john…
when i get to mexico…
[john ruth & daisy domergue (spoken):]
gimme that guitar! music time’s over!
what?! hey! woah, woah, woah!
