Scythian

Back Home in Derry

In 1803 we sailed out to sea
Out from the sweet town of Derry
For Australia bound if we didn't all drown
And the marks of our fetters we carried
In our rusty iron chains we sighed for our weans
Our good wives we left in sorrow
As the mainsails unfurled, our curses we hurled
On the English, and thoughts of tomorrow

Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry

I cursed them to hell as our bow fought the swell
Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight
White horses rode high as the devil passed by
Taking souls to Hades by twilight
Five weeks out to sea, we were now forty-three
Our comrades we buried each morning
In our own slime we were lost in a time
Endless night without dawning

Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry

Van Diemen's land is hell for a man
To live out his life in slavery
Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law
Neither wind nor rain cares for bravery
Twenty years have gone by, I've ended my bond
My comrades ghosts walk behind me
A rebel I came - And I'll die the same
On the cold winds of night you will find me

Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
