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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Such was his fame[00:00:27]

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

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

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

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

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

But Harry＇s world held sway[00:00:40]

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

They headed Whitfield way[00:00:46]

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

And we＇ll be rich today [00:00:51]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And Harry said Approach [00:01:27]

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

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

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

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

Harry disappeared a while[00:02:29]

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

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

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

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

Harry wasn＇t stalling[00:02:42]

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

His manners were appalling[00:02:48]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Get on your horse[00:03:06]

And follow me[00:03:08]

You＇re a wanted man he lied[00:03:09]

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

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

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

He＇d taken quite a grilling[00:03:24]

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

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

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

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

I＇ve really had to simplify[00:03:38]

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

He＇s the one[00:03:44]

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

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

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

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

He＇s the truly seasoned pro[00:03:57]

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

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