Tell that to Lonigans widow

Ive been too busy to write a Post for the Blog this weekend. Heres some music for you instead, and the Lyrics below, of a song that was part of the soundtrack for the Kelly movie from 1970. 
The best line?  "Bury the truth as you bury the dead"

Now four jolly troopers from Mansfield town

Were sent out to hunt all them Kelly boys down

They searched through the wombat for most of a week

And they camped on the banks of the Stringybark creek

But Lonigan's widow, she's a singing no songs

She walks these red hills and she cries all night long

They say that Ned Kelly had never done wrong

Tell that to Lonigan's widow

Early that morning amid laughter and shouting

Kennedy and Scanlon, they rode out a scouting

And left McIntyre to cook up the grub

While Lonigan sang at the old washing tub

They were cleaning the camp, boiling some tea

When up jumped Ned Kelly with his comrades three

With a shout and a cry and a crack of a gun

Lonigan staggers and Lonigan's done

But Lonigan's widow, she's singin' no songs

She walks these red hills and she cries all night long

They say that Ned Kelly ain't never done wrong

But tell that to Lonigan's widow

He's crawling, he's crying, he's clawing the ground

His voice makes a pleading and pitiful sound

Of the way that he's dying, nobody will speak

When they tell of the glory's on Stringybark creek

But Lonigan's widow, she sang him no songs

She walks these red hills, she cries all night long

They say that Ned Kelly ain't never done wrong

But tell that to Lonigan's widow

So sing of Ned Kelly, the lad of renown

The pride of Australia, the scourge of the crown

Sing of his bravery and God bless his head

And bury the truth as you bury the dead

But Lonigan's widow, she's singing no songs

She walks these red hills and she cries all night long

They say that Ned Kelly ain't never done wrong

Ned Kelly, ain't never done wrong

Ned Kelly's never done wrong

But tell that to Lonigan's widow
