  REDGUM   - Poor Ned

  

  D                  A          G                 D

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

  D                        A               G                  D

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

  D                      A            

  now I don't know whats right or wrong

           G              D

  but they hung Christ on nails

  D                A

  6 kids at home & 2 still on the breast

       G                     D

  they wouldn't even give us bail

  

  

  ( CHORUS:

  

  D                A

  Poor Ned, you're better off dead

     G                              D

  at least you'll get some peace of mind

  D

  you're out on the track

  A

  they're right on your  back

  G                          G

  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
