Glenrowan (Part 2)
John C Munro

Friendly fire or deadly aim who can truly say
But four or five lay waiting for the priest to ply his trade,
He couldn't believe what his eyes would greet
Steve and Dan laid out all nice and neat
It was the strangest thing, there was a dead dog laid out at their feet

Chorus
I always knew it would come to this
Guess I knew it would come to this
From old Quinn's stories to my mother's last kiss
Always knew it would come to this

Seven feet tall in my helmet, armour and my overcoat
Rising out of the morning mist, made their hearts leap to their throats
They took their aim where the armour didn't go
And brought me down and laid me low
And kicked me til they couldn't hurt me any more

Chorus

Now Dan and Steve in unmarked graves behind my mothers home
And poor dead Joe makes a pretty picture tied to the jailhouse door
I couldn't believe they would treat him that way
And as for me I have to say
They took great care to keep me alive for the part I'd still to play

Chorus
