This was my grandmother’s favorite song. I always listen to it when I think of her. She passed away last year at 109 years old. She came through Ellis island from Ireland at 16/17 years old and met my grandpa 10 years later who also came from Ireland and they grew up a county away in Ireland but met in NY ❤️❤️❤️ RIP my nana, I love you forever and ever. You are my sunshine.

@@gogogeedus Dowling is a solid Irish name. There are various versions of the origin of the song, but they all feature the Colonial Boy as having a traditional Irish name. These names include Duggan, Dolan, Donahue and Doolan. Even the name you mention, Dowling, is a traditional Irish surname. In all the claims I've read I don't recall him ever being described as English. Do you think you would be better off building up your own culture instead of knocking down the culture of others? Shouldn't those times be over? Just a thought....
It's an English shanty that was sung in sailing ships, shearing sheds and pubs well before any Irish men were transported here, and the wild colonial boy was Tom Dowling.

@@helenaville5939 The sir name Dowling is not necessarily Irish and is found in other parts of great Britain, the song is about a colonial boy born in Castlemaine Victoria, he would not be know as a colonial boy if he was born in Ireland, Castlemaine Victoria is a very old gold mining settlement, I don't believe there was a Castlemaine in Ireland at the time. we don't mind if you make this song your own but I think it only fair that you accept that this is as much a part of Australian colonial history and culture.

Mum used to sing this song to me, replacing my name with Jack Duggan. She's from Irish stock. Being a bit of a bush boy from kelly country, this touches my colonial heart
In my family, everybody knows this song. I mean, my name is Connor Duggan. Apparently, that wasn’t initially going to be my name. It was my father’s idea to name me after my great grandfather Cornelius’ nickname/short form, which was often either Connor or Connie. My mother however originally wanted to name me Jack, after this song. My dad thought maybe naming me after the famous thief and murderer of the family, could have been a bad idea. Haha

My dad sang this to me. I never knew it was meant to be sang so upbeat because he sang it so slow. Think he had a lot rougher childhood than I knew. Anyway. I miss him.
He may have been singing it in the style it was sung in the John Wayne/Maureen O'Harra movie The Quiet Man. That's how my dad sang it as I was growing up and the upbeat tempo of the Irish Rovers surpised me as well the first time I heard them.
No offense to the Irish Rovers,but Charlie Taylor's rendition of this Irish ballad is the best in my opinion,the way he really sings to sing this with pure spirit.
His name was Donahue “Bold Jack Donahue” whether the ballad calls him Duggan or Jim Doolan he represents the Australian spirit of being free no matter what the odds.
It's an English shanty that was sung in sailing ships, shearing sheds and pubs well before any Irish men were transported here, and the wild colonial boy was Tom Dowling.
Jack Donahue is a common Irish surname in Ireland. The other names (Duggan, Dolan, etc) are also common Irish surnames. So it seems credible that he really was an Irish boy who emigrated to Australia - or was born there to Irish parents. Castlemaine (the town mentioned in the song) is the name of a town near Killarney in Ireland. Until recently there was a pub there for decades called the Jack Duggan pub which was known to be called after the Wild Colonial Boy.
I heard this sung by a lady on a coach trip from kanturk to skibereen when i was 14 years old i was visiting family from my home in england ,for40 years this songs been in my head i never forgot it
this song always reminds me of my grandad. he used to sing it while stood at sink peeling potatoes don't think he knew all words or why he would sing this song he wasn't Irish. it wasn't till 15 years after he died that I got internet and found it
Javier Sacristán The Australian lyrics have changed many times over the years, the song was originally about Jack Donahue, the authorities tried to ban it.
+Ryan Quenneville The Australian version sometimes uses the same chorus as the earlier song Bold Jack Donahue. It goes T hen, come all my hearties, we'll range the mountain side;Together we will plunder, together we will ride. We'll scour along the valleys and gallop o'er the plains, We scorn to live in slavery bowed down with iron chains.
An indication of how the reformatory ship scheme was used in Victoria can be seen in a reference made in Victorian state records to a boy named ‘Doolan’. Born on 28 April 1856 in Castlemaine, Victoria, he was committed for trial in the circuit court on a charge of grievous bodily harm. For his crime the boy was sentenced to a year in Sir Harry Smith by Chief Justice Sir William Stawell.12 A year of naval training and reform seems to have little beneficial effect on the boy as ‘Doolan’, whose real name was Jack Dooling, went on to achieve notoriety as the bushranger referred to in the folk song Wild Colonial Boy From HMAS LEEUWIN: THE STORY OF THE RAN’S JUNIOR RECRUITS
As an Australian I am touched that so many people from all around the world know this song. I think it was about someone called Jack Donahue who would have been sent out here as a convict.
These guys are epic. My favorites from them include 1.Johnny I hardly knew ya, 2. Jolly Roving tar, 3. Wild colonial boy 4. Whiskey in the jar, 5. Raise a glass to st. Patricks. And almost everything else
In the official notices which fruitlessly offered £20 for his apprehension, Donohoe was described as '22 years of age, 5 feet 4 inches (163 cm) in height, brown freckled complexion, flaxen hair, blue eyes, and has a scar under the left nostril'. In the late afternoon of 1 September 1830 a detachment of soldiers and police came up with the gang in the Bringelly scrub near Campbelltown. During the ensuing fight Donohoe urged the police to 'come on, using the most insulting and indecent epithets'. He was killed by a ball fired by Trooper Muggleston.
We do not have prairies or mockingbirds in Australia... Thankfully this oversight was corrected later on. Here is Dr Hook, singing the updated version of this song. ua-cam.com/video/ZD4LHMHGpMo/v-deo.html
At the time the Wild Colonial Boy was bushranging in Australia, Queen Victoria was the Queen of England and the British Empire, so the troopers would not have said "Surrender in the King's high name". Most versions of the song correctly have them calling "Surrender in the Queen's [high] name".
We don't know who the wild colonial boy truly was but many believe it was jack Donahue. When he died (due to a shoot-out I might add) in 1830, king William was ruling
Jack Donahue was of an earlier time he was an escaped convict, Kelly was Australian born a generation later.1804- 1830.he died 1st September 1830 shot by John Muckleston in a shootout with troopers.
I first heard this song in The Quiet Man. Im not a big John Wayne but The Quiet Man is an exception. The macho character persona that he normally plays is put aside. And The Quiet Man is a story of a man who finds redemption after accidentally killing a man in a boxing match and puts his fighting background beside him. It is only when their is not other option to the towns bully that he picks up his gloves again after every peaceful way to deal with him is not worked out.
Must correct the lyrics - Australia does NOT have prairies nor do we have mocking birds ! We have broad plains, thousands of square kilometres/miles of desert and ‘laughing jackasses’ more correctly known as “kookaburras” not mocking birds. Despite all that, I love this song and it goes well in our local ukulele groups. Oh yes, I was born on St Pats day so can claim an Aussie-Irish connection.

Not strictly Bushrangers in the Australian sense, but the US did have many Wild West outlaw heroes that were of a similar nature.
