A long time ago on colonial land
Was a settler who worked with his hands
He came from Welsh shores, he wanted more
Terra Australis, a bloody good score
John settled down, down by the river
Somewhere out by Ebenezer
He came as a boat swain, free without chain
His blood was pure, from good strain
He was the man who built the boats
Captain John Grono away she floats
Well along time ago on colonial land
Was a settler who worked with his hands, Yeah
Along came the great colonial depression
The land was hot with drought conditions
Men went bust with international trust
The money all gone, nothing but dust
He was the man who built the boats
Captain John Grono away she floats
Well along time ago on colonial land
Was a settler who worked with his hands, Yeah
Old and weary captain John Died
He lived a life of bloody great pride
He was the man who built the boats
Captain John Grono away she floats
Well along time ago on colonial land
Was a settler who worked with his hands
Along time ago on colonial land
Was a settler, he worked with his hands
