Versions of song ‘Jack Donahue’ have been sung in Canada, the US, Australia, and Great Britain. Some may know a version called ‘Wild Colonial Boy’, which is similar. The story is of an Irish born Robin Hood type of highwayman that gets exiled to Australia for various misdeeds, concluding with the epic battle that ultimately results in his death. The interpretation here is hauntingly told accompanied by acoustic guitar and mandolin.
