"The Shores of Botany Bay", also known as "Botany Bay", is a traditional Irish song. The song's narrator is a bricklayer working long hours in poor conditions at the dockyards. He quits his job and emigrates to Australia. He sings of Botany Bay, the location of Sydney, and dreams of prosperity that the Australian Gold Rush might bring him.
