Ned Kelly |
| Eighteen-hundred and eighty-five was the year I remember so well |
| When they drove old Gran to an early grave and sent my mom in jail |
| I don’t know what’s right or wrong but they hung Christ on nails |
| Six kids at home and two on the breast, why they wouldn’t even give her bail |
| Poor Ned, you’re better off dead |
| You get no peace of mind |
| A track’s a trail and they’re hard on your tail |
| Boy, they’re gonna hang you high |
| Poor Ned, you’re better off dead |
| You get no peace of mind |
| A track’s a trail and they’re hard on your tail |
| Boy, they’re gonna hang you high |
| I’d rather die like Donahue, that man, he was 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 |
| I’d rather die ten thousand times than hang from the gallow’s tree |
| Poor Ned, you’re better off dead |
| You get no peace of mind |
| A track’s a trail and they’re hard on your tail |
| Boy, they’re gonna hang you high |
| Poor Ned, you’re better off dead |
| You get no peace of mind |
| A track’s a trail and they’re hard on your tail |
| Boy, they’re gonna hang you high |
| Poor Ned, you’re better off dead |
| You get no peace of mind |
| A track’s a trail and they’re hard on your tail |
| Boy, they’re gonna hang you high |
| Poor Ned, you’re better off dead |
