Dylan BobGood as I Been to YouJim Jonesby Bob Dylan (arr)1. Come and listen for a moment, lads,And hear me tell my tale.How across the sea from EnglandI was condemned to sail.Now the jury found me guilty,Then says the judge, says he,Oh, for life, Jim Jones, I'm sending youAcross the stormy sea.But take a tip before you shipTo join the iron gang.Don't get too gay in Botany Bay,Or else you'll surely hang.Or else you'll surely hang, says he.And after that, Jim Jones,It's high above on the gallows treeThe crows will pick your bones.2. And our ship was high upon the seaThen pirates came along,But the soldiers on our convict shipWere full five hundred strong.For they opened fire and somehow droveThat pirate ship away.But I'd rather have joined that pirate shipTan gone to Botany Bay.With the storms ragin' round us,And the winds a-blowin' gale,I'd rather have drowned in miseryThan gone to New South Wales.3. Now it's day and night and the irons clang,And like poor galley slavesWe toil and toil, and when we dieMust fill dishonored graves,And it's by and by I'll slip my chains,Well, into the bush I'll goAnd I'll join the bravest rankers there,Jack Donohue and co.And some dark night, when everythingIs silent in the townI'll shoot those tyrants one and all,I'll gun the flogger down.Oh, I'll give the land a little shock,Remember what I say,And they'll yet regret they've sent Jim JonesIn chains to Botany Bay.
