lyrics

When I was but a boy living by the sea a ship came and took me
And to Bundaberg we came to cut and haul the cane I'd never see my Mother again.

Ow - we set this blackbird free set this blackbird free

We'd toil six days a week in the rain and in the heat oh but no wages did they pay me
Just sugar flour and tea and the odd tobacco leaf and a place for me to sleep

Ow - we set this blackbird free set this blackbird free

And sometimes when I dream I'm back home by the sea and my Mother she's there with me
But I wake up and I'm still a slave oh but I'll be free I'll be free some day singing loud Tulai-e

Ow - we set this blackbird free set this blackbird free
