Fat lady singing in gaol? I'm guessing it's "Il Trovatore"!

In yon gloomy tow-ow-er
Stern Death now is Caw-aw-ling ....

Home to our mou-hount-ains
let us ret-uh--huh-urn
There in my you-ung days...

Of thee-ee, I'ill thi-ink o-of thee, love,
Yes I-i wi-ill thi-ink o-of thee, love,
I'll think of thee, love
I'll think of thee, love....

Such a shame. gaol is a much better word than jail.

I do believe that "gaol" has lost the war against "jail" in the Australian media.
