Subject: Lyr Req: Transportation to the American Colonies

While at the Mystic Sea Music Festival last weekend, I realized that there seems to be a dearth of songs about transported prisoners to the Americas. A major reason for the settlement of Australia was that the Americas were no longer available as penal colonies. Does anyone know of any?
