Ned Kelly Music: Farewell to Greta (Patreon)

New series begins this week! We asked the Kiner Brothers if they could revive this old piece of music that was Ned Kelly's favorite song about himself.  As usual, they blew us away!

Lyrics:

Farewell my home in Greta, now my sisters fare thee well
It breaks my heart that we must part but here I dare not dwell
The brand of Cain is on my brow my hands are stained with gore
So I must roam in future years throughout Australia's shore
Even now the price is on my head and bloodhounds on my trail
All for the sake of gaining gold my freedoms they assail.

But if they cross and check my path by all I hold on earth
I'll give them cause to rue the day their mothers gave them birth
I'll shoot them down like kangaroos that roam our country wide
And leave their bodies bleaching upon some woodland side
A prey to every prowling bird the hawk and carrion crow
It's thus I'd serve each cowardly cur who'd cause my overthrow.
