REDGUM - Poor Ned
DEighteen-hundred & A78 was the Gyear I remeber so Dwell
Dthey put my father in an Aearly grave and Gslung my mother in Dgaol
Dnow I don't know whats Aright or wrong
but they Ghung Christ on Dnails
D6 kids at home & A2 still on the breast
they Gwouldn't even give us Dbail
( CHORUS:
DPoor Ned, you're Abetter off dead
at Gleast you'll get some peace of Dmind
Dyou're out on the track
Athey're right on your back
Gboy they're gonna hang you Ghigh )
You know I wrote a letter 'bout Stringy-Bark Creek
so they would understand
that I might be a bushranger
but I'm not a murdering man
I didn't want to shoot Kennedy
or that copper Lonnigan
he alone could have saved his life
by throwing down his gun
CHORUS
You know they took Ned Kelly
& they hung him in the Melbourne gaol
he fought so very bravely
dressed in iron mail
& no man single handed
can hope to break the bars
there's a thousand like Ned Kelly
who'll hoist the flag of stars
we sing...CHORUS
