Redgum - Poor Ned - Sözleri

Eighteen-hundred & 78 was the year I remeber so well

they put my father in an early grave and slung my mother in gaol

now I don't know whats right or wrong

but they hung Christ on nails

6 kids at home & 2 still on the breast

they wouldn't even give us bail



( CHORUS:



Poor Ned, you're better off dead

at least you'll get some peace of mind

you're out on the track

they're right on your  back

boy they're gonna hang you high      )



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
