The Hold-up at Eugowra Rocks

歌詞

It's all about bold Frank Gardiner, with the devil in his eye He said, "We've work before us, lads, we've got to do or die So blacken up your faces before the dead of night And its over by Eugowra Rocks we'll either fall or fight" Chorus (after each verse): You can sing of Johnny Gilbert, Dan Morgan and Ben Hall But the bold and reckless Gardiner, he's the boy to beat them all "We'll stop the Orange escort with powder and with ball We'll shoot the coach to pieces and we'll down the peelers all We'll lift the diggers' money, we'll collar all their gold So mind your guns are killers now, my comrades true and bold" So now off go the rifles, the battle has begun The escort started running, boys, all in the setting sun The robbers seized their plunder so saucy and so bold And they're riding from Eugowra Rocks encumbered with their gold And as with savage laughter they left that fatal place They cried, "We've struck bonanza, boys, we've won the steeplechase!" And Gardiner their leader, he shouted loud "Hooray I think we've made our fortunes at Eugowra Rocks today!"
