There's a name that Australia will never forget The best known Australian I'd sure like to bet Though granted its owner dishonoured his name Theres one thing for certain Ned Kelly was game
chorus Game as Ned Kelly the people would say Game as Ned Kelly they say it today
Oh great was their fame when the Kelly Boys rode Those daring bush rangers with no fixed abode They laughed at the law a big price on their head The troopers could never catch up with wild Ned chorus
They stuck up the stations but never were caught But everyone reckoned that Ned was a sport They captured a township those bush rangers bold Then off to the ranges they rode with the gold chorus
But at last at Glenrowan the Kelly gang fell While fighting for life from the burning hotel When out came Ned Kelly still blazing away Till wounded by troopers he fell in the fray chorus
And so to the gallows the outlaw was led Now die like a Kelly his mother had said A fate such is life the bold bush ranger sighed The trap door sprang open and Ned Kelly died chorus
And so young Australians take heed of this song Be game as you like but don't do any wrong Remember the warning that crime doesn't pay Remember Ned Kelly and walk the straight way chorus
