It's all about bold Frank Gardiner with the devil in his eye <br />He said "We've work before us lads we've got to do or die <br />So blacken up your faces before the dead of night <br />And its over by Eugowra Rocks we'll either fall or fight" <br /> <br />Chorus: You can sing of Johnny Gilbert Dan Morgan and Ben Hall <br />But the bold and reckless Gardiner he's the boy to beat them all <br /> <br />We'll stop the Orange escort with powder and with ball <br />We'll shoot the coach to pieces and we'll down the peelers all <br />We'll lift the diggers' money we'll collar all their gold <br />So mind your guns are killers now my comrades true and bold. <br /> <br />So now off go the rifles the battle has begun <br />The escort started running boys all in the setting sun <br />The robbers seized their plunder so saucy and so bold <br />And they're riding from Eugowra Rocks encumbered with their gold <br /> <br />And as with savage laughter they left that fatal place <br />They cried "We've struck bonanza boys we've won the steeplechase!" <br />And Gardiner their leader he shouted a loud "Hooray <br />I think we've made our fortunes at Eugowra Rocks today"<br /><br />Anonymous Oceania<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eugowra-rocks/
