Bold Morgan

Bold Morgan once in NSW
His stolen mare bestrode-er
When there he twigged the Bishop's coach
A comin' along the road-er

So he gallops close to the horse's nob
And shoves his head within
Said Bishop, handing out a bob
'That's all my blessed tin'

Says Morgan "This here game's absurd
And much deserves a bullet
So he shoves his pistol to his head
And fires it down his gullet

The coachman not likin' the job
Sets off at full gallop-er
But the thief shoved the bob in the coachman's fob
And prevailed on him to stop-er.
