There was a Wild Killonan Boy,
And Downing was his name,
He was reared in Ireland's sunny land,
In a place called Castlemain,
He was his mother's only son,
His father's pride and joy,
And over the hills of Australia
Went this wild Killonan boy.II

This boy began to roam,
To rob the rich and serve the poor
Was Dan's delightful joy,
And over the hills of Australia
Went this wild Killonan boy. - Collector
