lyrics

*Over the border to rifle and plunder        
Over the border went Morgan the bold 
Over the border a terrible blunder 
For over the border bold Morgan lies cold

When the gold rush had been proven a bust     
Robbing and looting had become a must   
Caught up by the law; taken out to sea       
Six years sentenced to Success he’d be   
Six years Fuller was imprisoned to row       
The seeds of a malcontent be sown           
Raped and beaten then seared with a brand       
Set free to be the terror of Queensland

Taking a name and growing his beard       
Known now as the Mad Dog all lawmen would fear
When a clash with the hunters had left him dying   
Billy Ballong found him and took him under his wing
They’d rob and they’d fade away in a blur           
The bushman and the one with the Irish temper
When the pair would strike and then disappear 
The troopers had found that their true trail had veered

Taking rest at the station and indulging his rum   
The old bushranger was morose and glum
Not just the sentimentality he felt           
But brooding over the hand he was dealt
Drinking and pondering the days of yore                     
When Billy the bushman had saved him before
This time no help as the lawmen surround       
To kill a man whose spirit could never be bound

*So honour the brave 'earts over the border       
Great was the lesson they taught us that day 
Oh, that teach other bushranging marauder 
Over the border should venture to stray

Where noted * in “Over the Border”, are traditional Australian folk melody and lyrics
