The Whitlams - Kate Kelly lyrics
So you just keep on drinking and you try to forget How they strung up Joe Byrne to the jailhouse door Like a marionette He was dead for two days and I'll tell you no lies With the press still around him making their money Shooting postcards of him through the flies Close your eyes Kate and I'll sing you to sleep Close your eyes, your dreams will be sweet Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly I'm gonna sing you to sleep Ned rose up through the mist man made of iron Fighting his way to the smouldering inn Where Joe and his brother were dying They had to shoot out his legs Kate and if you could sleep You could forget that they cut off his head For the warden's paperweight Close your eyes Kate and I'll sing you to sleep Close your eyes your dreams will be sweet Don't linger around here may your soul rest in peace Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly I'm gonna sing you to sleep Now you do horse tricks in a wild west show Sharp-shooting Kate the last of the Kellys Now the queen of a rodeo Was Joe your lover? Did he send you some word? A friend to your brothers all the way to the end Where as brothers-in-arms they would fall Close your eyes Kate I'll sing you to sleep Close your eyes, your dreams will be sweet Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly I'm gonna sing you to sleep Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly I'm gonna sing you to sleep just keep on drinking and you try to forget How they strung up Joe Byrne to the jailhouse door Like a marionette |
