about

Oatlands is one of Tasmania's oldest settlements. Much of the Black War took place in the surrounding districts, with settlers forming "roving parties" to hunt, capture and kill the original inhabitants.

lyrics

When the roving party gets here
My husband will come home
Me and the children will not be alone
When the roving party rides into town

They're hiding in the mountains
They're out on the frontier
The townsfolk gather, all wide in fear
When the roving party rides into town

The nights are filled with footsteps
Soldier, magistrate,
Undertaker, jailer drags the chain
When the roving party rides into town

The prison is made of sandstone
My house is made of pine
My husband is roving. The baby starts to cry
When the roving party rides into town

When the roving party gets here
My husband will come home
Me and my children will not be alone
Me and my children will not be alone
We will not be alone
