[Chorus]
G Em C D Farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lies G Em Farewell to your gangers and gang planks A7 D And to hell with your overtime G Em C D For the good ship Ragamuffin, she's lying at the quay Em Em For to take oul Pat with a shovel on his back Em Em Em D To the shores of Botany Bay Oh
[Verse 1]
G Em C D I'm on my way down to the quay, where the ship at anchor lays G Em A7 D To command a gang of navvys, that they told me to engage G Em C D I thought I'd drop in for a drink before I went away Em Em Em Em Em D For to take a trip on an emigrant ship to the shores of Botany Bay Oh
[Chorus]
G Em C D Farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lies G Em Farewell to your gangers and gang planks A7 D And to hell with your overtime G Em C D For the good ship Ragamuffin, she's lying at the quay Em Em For to take oul Pat with a shovel on his back Em Em Em D To the shores of Botany Bay Oh
[Verse 2]
G Em C D The boss came up this morning, he says "Well, Pat you know G Em A7 D If you don't get your navvys out, I'm afraid you'll have to go" G Em C D So I asked him for my wages and demanded all my pay Em Em Em Em Em D For I told him straight, I am going to emigrate to the shores of Botany Bay Oh
[Chorus]
G Em C D Farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lies G Em Farewell to your gangers and gang planks A7 D And to hell with your overtime G Em C D For the good ship Ragamuffin, she's lying at the quay Em Em For to take oul Pat with a shovel on his back Em Em Em D To the shores of Botany Bay Oh
[Verse 3]
G Em C D And when I reach Australia I'll go and look for gold G Em A7 D There's plenty there for the digging of, or so I have been told G Em C D Or else I'll go back to my trade and a hundred bricks I'll lay Em Em Em Em Em D Because I live for an eight hour shift on the shores of Botany Bay Oh
[Chorus]
G Em C D Farewell to your bricks and mortar, farewell to your dirty lies G Em Farewell to your gangers and gang planks A7 D And to hell with your overtime G Em C D For the good ship Ragamuffin, she's lying at the quay Em Em For to take oul Pat with a shovel on his back Em Em Em D To the shores of Botany Bay Oh
