[00:00.000]The Story Of Harry Power - Hugh Cornwell
[00:11.441]A hundred years and many a tear
[00:13.701]Tells the story of Harry Power
[00:16.851]Took Ned Kelly when he was a lad
[00:19.340]And just a wild flower
[00:21.850]Taught him how to rob
[00:23.170]Taught him how to hide
[00:24.530]In not so many hours
[00:27.170]Such was his fame
[00:28.480]The mention of his name
[00:29.800]Led those who heard to cower
[00:32.640]His mother gave him fifteen quid
[00:35.400]To take the boy away
[00:38.410]Just fourteen and never been kissed
[00:40.860]But Harry＇s world held sway
[00:43.940]He lit the fire he cooked the food
[00:46.200]They headed Whitfield way
[00:49.210]Hold them horses Ned he cried
[00:51.720]And we＇ll be rich today
[00:57.000]To Bullock Creek they headed out
[00:59.680]And Ned became a ranger
[01:02.440]Those wooden walls were two feet thick
[01:05.200]To keep them from all danger
[01:08.160]Harry wagged his pipe at Ned
[01:10.790]And told the tale of Whitty
[01:13.360]Who sold his soul to the devil red
[01:15.930]And gave lawyers no pity
[01:18.690]They headed out the month of May
[01:21.510]And robbed the Buckland coach
[01:24.400]Look who＇s here brave Cody cried
[01:27.100]And Harry said Approach
[01:29.740]The women gave their jewelry
[01:32.000]Because Ned＇s ma needs a broach
[01:35.070]Hold them horses Ned he cried
[01:37.570]Let＇s find some gold to poach
[02:29.350]Harry disappeared a while
[02:31.840]But soon he came a calling
[02:34.460]He＇d taken back the Quiller boots
[02:37.160]And Ned he was crestfallen
[02:40.100]The boots restored at Tarawingee
[02:42.990]Harry wasn＇t stalling
[02:45.370]Get on your horse and follow me
[02:48.000]His manners were appalling
[02:50.700]He took revenge by urging Ned
[02:53.580]To tan old Bill Frost＇s hide
[02:57.100]In Beechworth Town a gun went off
[02:59.170]And Ned thought he＇d shot wide
[03:01.800]Frost he fell a naked ape
[03:04.060]And the blood spilled from his side
[03:06.950]Get on your horse
[03:08.320]And follow me
[03:09.340]You＇re a wanted man he lied
[03:17.350]Harry was taken by the law
[03:19.560]And all thought that Ned was spilling
[03:22.310]But Ned he was a loyal dog
[03:24.830]He＇d taken quite a grilling
[03:27.590]He took the blame read Lorna Doone
[03:30.360]Then found a lady willing
[03:32.790]Then Fitzpatrick turned his coat
[03:35.170]And Ned he took to killing
[03:38.370]I＇ve really had to simplify
[03:40.070]Because Ned＇s the name we know
[03:44.330]He＇s the one
[03:45.470]That history has decided to show
[03:48.900]The books that bear his name
[03:51.470]Describe his armor and his woe
[03:54.980]But Harry holds the key for me
[03:57.540]He＇s the truly seasoned pro
[04:04.320]A hundred years and many a tear
[04:06.690]Tells the story of Harry Power
