I’m sick of doing crime
I’m sick of doing jail
It’s time to put pen to paper
And send this in the mail
As I currently sit in jail
Bathurst jail I am
I’m an Aboriginal man from Wellington
And Wiradjuri is my clan
I grew up on Nanima mission
What a perfect place to go fishing
Kicking back on country
On my home land
I’m proud to say
I’m an Aboriginal man
I’m sick of doing crime
I’m sick of doing jail
It’s time to put pen to paper
And send this in the mail
As I currently sit in jail
Bathurst jail I am
I’m an Aboriginal man from Wellington
And Wiradjuri is my clan
I grew up on Nanima mission
What a perfect place to go fishing
Kicking back on country
On my home land
I’m proud to say
I’m an Aboriginal man
