about
I learned this from the singing of Mike Waterson, and it has since become a favourite at singarounds and folk clubs. The chorus features my great friends, Lizzy Hardingham, Matt Quinn, Rowan Piggott, Rosie Hodgson, George Sansome, Janice Burns and Jon Doran.
lyrics
Come all you bold and ye rambling young boys, and a warning take by me,
For I’d have you quit night walking and shun bad company.
For it's
Son oh son what have you done?
You’re bound for Botany Bay
I was born and bred in Whitby town and raised most honestly,
Till I became a roving blade, which proved my destiny.
Well I broke into some lady’s house about the hour of three
And two peelers stood behind the door, and they soon had an hold on me.
It was at the quarter sessions that the judge to me did say
Well the jury’s found you guilty, you are bound for Botany Bay.
Well I’ve seen me aged father there a-trembling at the bar,
Likewise me dear old mother, a-tearing her white hair.
It was on the 28th of June from England we made way,
And as we come down the Humber, we heard them sailors say.
Well it’s
Boys oh boys there are no joys
Down there in Botany Bay
Oh there is a lass in Whitby town, and the girl that I long for well
And it’s if I had my liberty, along with her I’d dwell.

Three of the most talented folk/roots/acoustic artists currently at the very top of their game. Spoiler alert; is Spanish Lady actually about Catherine of Aragon or have I been reading too much Hilary Mantel? ***** bass_campdelta

A really wonderful collaboration - the instruments play beautifully together. Some knock-out instrumentals and beautifully pitched readings by Nick. Truly top marks. Hard to pick a fave. All tip top. stewart travers
