| Eighteen hundred and eighty five |
| Is a year I remember so well |
| When they drove old Brad into an early grave |
| And sent my mother to jail |
| Now I don? |
| t know what? |
| s right or wrong |
| But they hung Christ on nails |
| But with six kids at home and two still on her breast |
| They wouldn? |
| t even give her bail Chorus |
| Oh Ned, you? |
| re better off dead |
| You get no peace of mind |
| A track? |
| s a trail |
| And they? |
| re hot on your tail |
| Before they? |
| re gonna hang you high |
| I did write a letter |
| And I sealed it with my hand |
| Tried to tell about stringy bog creek |
| And tried to make them understand |
| Oh, that I didn? |
| t wanna kill Kennedy |
| Or cause his blood to run |
| Well he alone could have saved his life |
| By throwing down his gun Chorus Well I? |
| d rather die like Donahue |
| That bush-ranger so brave |
| Than be taken by the government |
| And forced to walk in chains |
| Well I? |
| d rather fight with all my might |
| While I have eyes to see |
| Well I? |
| d rather die ten thousand times |
| Than hang from a gallows tree. |
| Chorus |
