《The Story of Harry Power》歌词

[00:00:00] The Story Of Harry Power - Hugh Cornwell

[00:00:11] A hundred years and many a tear

[00:00:13] Tells the story of Harry Power

[00:00:16] Took Ned Kelly when he was a lad

[00:00:19] And just a wild flower

[00:00:21] Taught him how to rob

[00:00:23] Taught him how to hide

[00:00:24] In not so many hours

[00:00:27] Such was his fame

[00:00:28] The mention of his name

[00:00:29] Led those who heard to cower

[00:00:32] His mother gave him fifteen quid

[00:00:35] To take the boy away

[00:00:38] Just fourteen and never been kissed

[00:00:40] But Harry＇s world held sway

[00:00:43] He lit the fire he cooked the food

[00:00:46] They headed Whitfield way

[00:00:49] Hold them horses Ned he cried

[00:00:51] And we＇ll be rich today

[00:00:57] To Bullock Creek they headed out

[00:00:59] And Ned became a ranger

[00:01:02] Those wooden walls were two feet thick

[00:01:05] To keep them from all danger

[00:01:08] Harry wagged his pipe at Ned

[00:01:10] And told the tale of Whitty

[00:01:13] Who sold his soul to the devil red

[00:01:15] And gave lawyers no pity

[00:01:18] They headed out the month of May

[00:01:21] And robbed the Buckland coach

[00:01:24] Look who＇s here brave Cody cried

[00:01:27] And Harry said Approach

[00:01:29] The women gave their jewelry

[00:01:32] Because Ned＇s ma needs a broach

[00:01:35] Hold them horses Ned he cried

[00:01:37] Let＇s find some gold to poach

[00:02:29] Harry disappeared a while

[00:02:31] But soon he came a calling

[00:02:34] He＇d taken back the Quiller boots

[00:02:37] And Ned he was crestfallen

[00:02:40] The boots restored at Tarawingee

[00:02:42] Harry wasn＇t stalling

[00:02:45] Get on your horse and follow me

[00:02:48] His manners were appalling

[00:02:50] He took revenge by urging Ned

[00:02:53] To tan old Bill Frost＇s hide

[00:02:57] In Beechworth Town a gun went off

[00:02:59] And Ned thought he＇d shot wide

[00:03:01] Frost he fell a naked ape

[00:03:04] And the blood spilled from his side

[00:03:06] Get on your horse

[00:03:08] And follow me

[00:03:09] You＇re a wanted man he lied

[00:03:17] Harry was taken by the law

[00:03:19] And all thought that Ned was spilling

[00:03:22] But Ned he was a loyal dog

[00:03:24] He＇d taken quite a grilling

[00:03:27] He took the blame read Lorna Doone

[00:03:30] Then found a lady willing

[00:03:32] Then Fitzpatrick turned his coat

[00:03:35] And Ned he took to killing

[00:03:38] I＇ve really had to simplify

[00:03:40] Because Ned＇s the name we know

[00:03:44] He＇s the one

[00:03:45] That history has decided to show

[00:03:48] The books that bear his name

[00:03:51] Describe his armor and his woe

[00:03:54] But Harry holds the key for me

[00:03:57] He＇s the truly seasoned pro

[00:04:04] A hundred years and many a tear

[00:04:06] Tells the story of Harry Power
