Stringybark Creek
John C Munro

My name is Kennedy, earnest and steadfast,
I brought my comrades to Stringybark Creek,
Sent by my masters to bring in the outcast,
Doing my duty for two pounds a week

My name is McIntyre, law's brave defender,
I was the only one left at the end,
I heard the bushranger's call to surrender
But I saw the gun in the hand of my friend

Chorus
Now it's for my life - that they hunt you down,
No trial or jury they've set you apart,
Dead or alive there'll be five hundred pounds
For the Kelly's, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart

My name is Scanlan, of soldierly bearing,
Chosen for courage and skill in the fight,
Proud of the Queen's uniform I was wearing
It was tattered by shot as I fixed him in sight

Instrumental

My name is Lonigan, hungry for silver,
First to take aim I was shot through the eye,
Me it was first then who made him a killer
Me in the end who consigned him to die

Chorus
