REDGUM - Poor Ned

[D]Eighteen-hundred & [A]78 was the [G]year I remeber so [D]well
[D]they put my father in an [A]early grave and [G]slung my mother in [D]gaol
[D]now I don't know whats [A]right or wrong
but they [G]hung Christ on [D]nails
[D]6 kids at home & [A]2 still on the breast
they [G]wouldn't even give us [D]bail

( CHORUS:

[D]Poor Ned, you're [A]better off dead
at [G]least you'll get some peace of [D]mind
[D]you're out on the track
[A]they're right on your back
[G]boy they're gonna hang you [G]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

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

alternative keys - C G F C
