          As we sailed down the river St Clair, on the 20th day of May,
          Every ship that we passed by, I heard the sailors say;
          "There goes a load of jolly lads," for they'd something for to say,
          "'Tis for some crime or other, my boys, that they're going to Botany Bay."

                "Botany Bay," The New Green Mountain Songster,
                HH Flanders, et al, 1939 & 1966. See 5/20
