There's a convict more in the Central Jail, / Behind the old mud wall; / There's a lifter less on the Border trail, / And the Queen's Peace over all, / Dear boys / The Queen's Peace over all. / For we must bear our leader's blame, / On us the shame will fall, / If we lift our hand from a fettered land / And the Queen's Peace over all, / Dear boys, / The Queen's Peace over all! / THE RUNNING OF SHINDAND.
