• The lyrics to the Wild Colonial Boy originated in Australia and were set to an old Irish tune. They vary in the different versions to be found across the world, but they all contain the same basic story of the outlaw who helped the poor and terrorised the rich in the early days of colonial Australia.

• The Wild Colonial Boy. At the early age of sixteen years, He left his native home; And to Australia's sunny land He was inclined to roam. He robbed the rich, and he helped the poor He stabbed James MacEvoy. A terror to Australia was The Wild Colonial Boy. For two more years this daring youth Ran on his wild career, With a head that knew no danger.

• Or else you may turn outlaw, like the wild Colonial boy. One day as he was riding the mountain side along, A-listening to the little birds, their pleasant laughing song, Three mounted troopers rode along—Kelly, Davis, and FitzRoy. They thought that they would capture him—the wild Colonial boy.
