Oh Paddy dear and did you hear	A
The news that's going round	B
On the head of bold Ned Kelly	C
They have placed two thousand pound	B
And on Steve Hart Joe Byrne and Dan	D
Two thousand more they'd give	E
But if the price was doubled boys	F
The Kelly gang would live	G
'Tis hard to think such plucky hearts	H
In crime should be employed	I
'Tis by police persecution	J
They have all been much annoyed	I
Revenge is sweet and in the bush	K
They can defy the law	L
Such sticking up and plundering	M
You never saw before	N
'Twas in November Seventy eight	O
When theKelly Gang came down	P
Just after shooting Kennedy	C
To famed Euroa town	P
To rod the bank of all its gold	Q
Was their idea that day	R
Blood horses they were mounted on	S
To make their getaway	R
So Kelly marched into the bank	T
A cheque all in his hand	U
For to have it changed for money	C
Of Scott he did demand	U
And when that he refused him	V
He looking at him straight	O
Said 'See here my name's Ned Kelly	C
And this here man's my mate '	W
With pistols pointed at his nut	X
Poor Scott did stand amazed	Y
His stick he would have liked to cut	X
But was with funk half crazed	Y
The poor cashier with real fear	Z
Stood trembling at the knees	A2
But at last they both seen 'twas no use	B2
And handed out the keys	A2
The safe was quickly gutted then	C2
The drawers turned out as well	D2
The Kellys being quite polite	E2
Like any noble swell	D2
With flimsies gold and silver coin	F2
The threepennies and all	G2
Amouning to two thousand pounds	H2
They made a glorious haul	G2
'Now hand out all your firearms '	W
The robber boldly said	I2
'And all your amunition	F2
Or a bullet through your head	I2
Now get your wife and children	F2
Come man now look alive	G
All jump into this buggy	C
And we'll take you for a drive '	W
They took them to a station	F2
About three miles away	R
And kept them close imprisoned	J2
Until the following day	R
The owner of the station	F2
And those in his employ	K2
And a few unwary travellers	L2
Their company did enjoy	K2
An indian hawker fell in too	M2
As everybody knows	N2
He came in handy to the gang	O2
By fitting them with clothes	P2
Then with their worn out clothing	M
They made a few bonfires	L2
And then destroyed the telegraph	Q2
By cutting down the wires	L2
Oh Paddy dear do shed a tear	R2
I can't but sympathize	S2
Those Kellys are the devils	T2
For they've made another rise	S2
This time across the billabong	M
On Morgan's ancient beat	U2
They've robbed the banks of thousands	V2
And in safety did retreat	U2
The matter may be serious Pat	W2
But still I can't but laugh	Q2
To think the tales the bobbies told	Q
Must all amount to chaff	Q2
They said they had them all hemmed in	F2
They could not get away	R
But they turned up in New South Wales	X2
And made the journey pay	R
They rode into Jerilderie town	F2
At twelve o'clock at night	E2
Aroused the troopers from their beds	Y2
And gave them an awful fright	E2
They took them in their night shirts	Z2
Ashamed I am to tell	D2
They covered them with revolvers	L2
And locked them in a cell	D2
They next acquainted the womenfolk	M
That they were going to stay	R
And take possession of the camp	A3
Until the following day	R
They fed their horses in the stalls	B3
Without the slightest fear	Z
Then went to rest their weary limbs	C3
Till daylight did appear	Z
Next morning being Sunday morn	F2
Of course they must be good	D3
They dressed themselves in troopers' clothes	P2
And Ned he chopped some wood	D3
No one there suspected them	E3
As troopers they did pass	F3
And Dan the most religious one	F2
Took the sergeant's wife to mass	F3
They spent the day most pleasantly	C
Had plenty of good cheer	Z
Fried beefsteak and onions	G3
Tomato sauce and beer	Z
The ladies in attendance	H3
Indulged in pleasant talk	M
And just to ease the troopers minds	I3
They took them for a walk	M
On Monday morning early	C
Still masters of the ground	B
They took their horses to the forge	J3
And had them shod all round	B
Then back they came and mounted	K3
Theri plans all laid so well	D2
In company with troopers	L2
They stuck up the Royal Hotel	D2
They bailed up all the occupants	L3
And placed them in a room	M3
Saying 'Do as we comand you	M2
Or death will be your doom '	W
A chineses cook 'No savvy' cried	N3
Not knowing what to fear	Z
But they brought him to his senses	O3
With a lift under the ear	A
All who now approached the house	P3
Just shared a similar fate	O
In hardly any time at all	G2
The number was twenty eight	O
They shouted freely for all hands	Q3
And paid for all they drank	M
And two of them remained in charge	R3
And two went to the bank	M
The farce was here repeated	S3
As I've already told	Q
They bailed up all the banker's clerks	T3
And robbed them of their gold	Q
The manager could not be found	B
And Kelly in great wrath	U3
Searched high and low and luckily	C
He found him in his bath	U3
The robbing o'er they mounted then	F2
To make a quick retreat	U2
They swept away with all their loot	V3
By Morgans' ancient beat	U2
And where they've gone I do not know	F2
If I did I wouldn't tell	D2
So now until I hear from them	E3
I'll bid you all farewell	D2
