A hundred years and many a tear tells the story of Harry Power   Took Ned Kelly when he was a lad and just a wild flower   Taught him how to rob taught him how to hide in not so many hours   Such was his fame the mention of his name led those who heard to cower   His mother gave him fifteen quid to take the boy away   Just fourteen and never been kissed but Harry's world held sway   He lit the fire he cooked the food they headed Whitfield way   Hold them horses Ned he cried And we'll be rich today!      To Bullock Creek they headed out and Ned became a ranger   Those wooden walls were two feet thick to keep them from all danger   Harry wagged his pipe at Ned and told the tale of Whitty   Who sold his soul to the devil red and gave lawyers no pity   They headed out the month of May and robbed the Buckland coach   Look who's here brave Cody cried and Harry said Approach!   The women gave their jewelry because Ned's ma needs a broach   Hold them horses Ned he cried Let's find some gold to poach!      Harry disappeared a while but soon he came a calling   He'd taken back the Quiller boots and Ned he was crestfallen   The boots restored at Tarawingee Harry wasn't stalling   Get on your horse and follow me his manners were appalling   He took revenge by urging Ned to tan old Bill Frost's hide   In Beechworth Town a gun went off and Ned thought he'd shot wide   Frost he fell a naked ape and the blood spilled from his side   Get on your horse and follow me you're a wanted man he lied      Harry was taken by the law and all thought that Ned was spilling   But Ned he was a loyal dog he'd taken quite a grilling   He took the blame read Lorna Doone then found a lady willing   Then Fitzpatrick turned his coat and Ned he took to killing   I've really had to simplify because Ned's the name we know   He's the one that history has decided to show   The books that bear his name describe his armor and his woe   But Harry holds the key for me he's the truly seasoned pro      A hundred years and many a tear tells the story of Harry Power
