The Kelly Gang

Come all you men with feeling,
With regret I do unfold,
A tale I have to tell of men,
Whose hearts were brave and bold.

Chorus
Sing a song of the Kelly gang bold,
Four men stout and true,
Whose brave exploits will long unfold,
For all the world to see.

The odds against the Kelly gang
Were fifty-to-one or more,
And yet was shown no courage
For they had to face but four

Long live loyal Kate Kelly,
For she was a noble girl.
And did appear upon the scene
In spite of all the world

Tis true she loved both Ned and Dan
And also Steve and Joe
For she did prove to one and all
Her heart was fair and true

If any praise is due at all
Then let the praise be made
To those four brave unfortunates
Who now lie in their graves.
