歌曲歌詞
Come all you wild and wicked youths whersomever you may be
I pray now pay attention and listen unto me
The fate of our poor transports as you shall understand
The hardships they do undergo upon Van Diemen's Land
My parents reared me tenderly good learning give to me
Till I by bad companions beguiled my home from me
I was brought up in Worcestershire
Near to the town did dwell
My name it Henry Herbert and many knows me well
Me and three more went out one night
To Squire Daniel's park
To get some game was our intent
As the night come proving dark
And to our sad misfortune they took us there by speed
And sent us off to Warwick Gaol
Which made our hearts to bleed
'Twas at the March assizes at the bar we did appear
Like Job we stood with patience to hear our sentence there
And being some old offenders
It made our case go hard
Our sentence were for fourteen year
And we were sent on board
The ship that bore us from
The land the Speedwell was her name
And full four months and upwards
We ploughed accross the raging main
No land no harbour could we see
And believe it is no lie
