While reading the thred about the folk radio streaming in Sydney, which has lyrics to a song about Ned Kelly, I thought I'd see if one of my favourites was in the DT, can't find any trace, or any mention of it in the numerous threads. The song is:

OUR SUNSHINE
by Paul Kelly/Mick Thomas

Well there came a man on a stolen horse
And he rode right onto the page
Burning bright, but not for long, lit up with a holy rage
No turning back for the child of grace
With the blood red on his hands
Never known to hurt a woman, he never robbed an honest man
His mother held in jail, his daddy dead
And daily rising, the price upon his head

CH: Our Sunshine................
    Our Sunshine................
    Through fire and flood
    Through dust and mud
    Through tears and blood still riding on

Forever trapped in a suit of steel
With the hotel burning behind
Betrayed by his companions with a train waiting down the line
Forever tall on a bareback horse
Getting through by the skin of his teeth
It's one more for the ladies, and one more for the police
Riding on out hungry tired and cold
Into the misty morning, never grow old


CHORUS

As you stood before the judge's chair
You said I'm free and easy...see you there

FINAL CHORUS (Rpt)

From SMOKE - Paul Kelly with Uncle Bill (1999)
