1
Now four jolly troopers from Mansfield town
2
Were sent out to hunt all them Kelly boys down
3
They searched through the wombat for most of a week
4
And they camped on the banks of the Stringybark creek
5
But Lonigan's widow, she's a singing no songs
6
She walks these red hills and she cries all night long
7
They say that Ned Kelly had never done wrong
8
Tell that to Lonigan's widow
9
Early that morning amid laughter and shouting
10
Kennedy and Scanlon, they rode out a scouting
11
And left McIntyre to cook up the grub
12
While Lonigan sang at the old washing tub
13
They were cleaning the camp, boiling some tea
14
When up jumped Ned Kelly with his comrades three
15
With a shout and a cry and a crack of a gun
16
Lonigan staggers and Lonigan's done
17
But Lonigan's widow, she's singin' no songs
18
She walks these red hills and she cries all night long
19
They say that Ned Kelly ain't never done wrong
20
But tell that to Lonigan's widow
21
He's crawling, he's crying, he's clawing the ground
22
His voice makes a pleading and pitiful sound
23
Of the way that he's dying, nobody will speak
24
When they tell of the glory's on Stringybark creek
25
But Lonigan's widow, she sang him no songs
26
She walks these red hills, she cries all night long
27
They say that Ned Kelly ain't never done wrong
28
But tell that to Lonigan's widow
29
So sing of Ned Kelly, the lad of renown
30
The pride of Australia, the scourge of the crown
31
Sing of his bravery and God bless his head
32
And bury the truth as you bury the dead
33
But Lonigan's widow, she's singing no songs
34
She walks these red hills and she cries all night long
35
They say that Ned Kelly ain't never done wrong
36
Ned Kelly, ain't never done wrong
37
Ned Kelly's never done wrong
38
But tell that to Lonigan's widow
