[00:18.60]In 1803 we sailed out to sea
[00:22.68]Out from the sweet town of Derry
[00:26.09]For Australia bound if we didn't all drown
[00:30.05]The marks of our fetters we carried
[00:33.84]In the rusty iron chains we cried for our wean's
[00:37.69]Our good women we left in sorrow
[00:41.24]As the main sails unfurled, our curses we hurled
[00:44.98]At the English and thoughts of tomorrow
[00:50.83]At the mouth of the Foyle, bid farwell to the soil
[00:54.36]As down below decks we were lying
[00:58.51]O'Doherty screamed, woken out of a dream
[01:02.10]By a vision of bold Robert dying
[01:06.21]The sun burned cruel as we dished out the gruel
[01:09.87]Dan O'Connor was down with the fever
[01:13.51]Sixty rebels today bound for Botany Bay
[01:17.29]How many will reach their receiver?
[01:23.77]Oh, oh, I wish I was back home in Derry
[01:31.19]Oh, oh, I wish I was back home in Derry
[01:40.35]I cursed them to hell, as our bow fought the swell
[01:43.75]Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight
[01:47.86]Wild horses rode high as the devil passed by
[01:51.47]Taking souls to Hades by twilight
[01:55.38]Five weeks out to sea, we were now forty-three
[01:59.34]We buried our comrades each morning
[02:03.23]In our own slime, we were lost in the time
[02:06.92]Endless night without dawning
[02:12.71]Oh, oh, I wish I was back home in Derry
[02:20.36]Oh, oh, I wish I was back home in Derry
[02:29.68]Van Diemen's land is a hell for a man
[02:33.59]To end out his whole life in slavery
[02:37.12]Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law
[02:41.14]Neither wind nor rain care for bravery
[02:44.93]Twenty years have gone by, I've ended my bond
[02:48.65]My comrades' ghosts walk behind me
[02:52.64]A rebel I came, I'm still the same
[02:56.31]On the cold winter's night you will find me
[03:02.19]Oh, oh, I wish I was back home in Derry
[03:10.04]Oh, oh, I wish I was back home in Derry
[03:17.65]Oh, oh, I wish I was back home in Derry
[03:25.38]Oh, oh, I wish I was back home in Derry
