Hi Bob and others
While we're talking about Bold Jack songs, there's one in Stewart & Keesing's collection that we put to music back in the seventies, called The Ballad of Jack Lefroy. There are a lot of similarities to the Donohue stories, such as being shot in the head etc, though Lefroy survives to hang. Does anyone know if this song is related. I've never seen a Jack Lafroy in the books I've read, so I'm guessing he's fictitious and based on the earlier songs.
