Letra de The Hold-up at Eugowra Rocks

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 it's over by Eugowra Rocks we'll either fall or fight.”
[Chorus]
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.”
[Chorus]
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
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
[Chorus]
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
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!”
[Chorus]
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
