Текст песни: The Hold-up at Eugowra Rocks + перевод

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.»

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.»

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

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!»

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
