Hugh Cornwell - The Story Of Harry Power Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • A hundred years and many a tear tells the story of Harry Power
  • Took Ned Kelly when he was a lad and just a wild flower
  • Taught him how to rob taught him how to hide in not so many hours
  • Such was his fame the mention of his name led those who heard to cower
  • His mother gave him fifteen quid to take the boy away
  • Just fourteen and never been kissed but Harry's world held sway
  • He lit the fire he cooked the food they headed Whitfield way
  • Hold them horses Ned he cried And we'll be rich today!
  • To Bullock Creek they headed out and Ned became a ranger
  • Those wooden walls were two feet thick to keep them from all danger
  • Harry wagged his pipe at Ned and told the tale of Whitty
  • Who sold his soul to the devil red and gave lawyers no pity
  • They headed out the month of May and robbed the Buckland coach
  • Look who's here brave Cody cried and Harry said Approach!
  • The women gave their jewelry because Ned's ma needs a broach
  • Hold them horses Ned he cried Let's find some gold to poach!
  • Harry disappeared a while but soon he came a calling
  • He'd taken back the Quiller boots and Ned he was crestfallen
  • The boots restored at Tarawingee Harry wasn't stalling
  • Get on your horse and follow me his manners were appalling
  • He took revenge by urging Ned to tan old Bill Frost's hide
  • In Beechworth Town a gun went off and Ned thought he'd shot wide
  • Frost he fell a ***** ape and the blood spilled from his side
  • Get on your horse and follow me you're a wanted man he lied
  • Harry was taken by the law and all thought that Ned was spilling
  • But Ned he was a loyal dog he'd taken quite a grilling
  • He took the blame read Lorna Doone then found a lady willing
  • Then Fitzpatrick turned his coat and Ned he took to killing
  • I've really had to simplify because Ned's the name we know
  • He's the one that history has decided to show
  • The books that bear his name describe his armor and his woe
  • But Harry holds the key for me he's the truly seasoned pro
  • A hundred years and many a tear tells the story of Harry Power
