Get Ready
John C Munro

I can see the end is coming but I've never liked the odds
I need a way to even up the deal
In the fields around Glenrowan where they turn the fertile sods
We'll take their ploughs to fashion into suits of steel

Chorus
I've read what the good book says it's always by my side
But now we'll beat the ploughshares into armour nowhere left to hide

Sick of running, sick of hiding, sick of heart and soul,
The time has come to cut this story short
So we'll gather at Glenrowan now that Joe has paid the toll
And the troops will come from Beechworth just to see the sport

Chorus

It's just a railway siding, where the lines meet and divide
An enchanted crossroad now in midnight's gleam
Just right to take the train and take the captives for a ride
And bargain to free Ellen and to pardon me

Chorus
