about

The story of the 1866 Maungatapu Murders narrated by the notorious outlaw Richard Burgess while he awaited the gallows from his prison cell in Nelson.

lyrics

My name, Dick Burgess
Of my crimes I do confess
The murder of four men
In our lord 1866

My deep dyed crimson sins
Committed with Joe Sullivan
I spilled mens blood at will
& left them on that bloody hill

Oh Lord, forgive me
I grant my soul to thee
My name Dick Burgess
Of my crimes I do confess

Oh reader, do not jest
For my sins and wickedness
This wretched life I’ve known
Has led me to my gallows throne

Oh Lord, forgive me
Grant me my liberty
My name Dick Burgess
Of my crimes I do confess

Oh Lord, hear my cry
On this day that I must die
This sentence handed down
Now I kiss this rope, my crown

Oh Lord, forgive me
New Zealand, pray for me!
My name Dick Burgess
Of my crimes I do confess
My name Dick Burgess
Of my crimes I now confess
