Lyrics
it was in the 1850's he was born, living in the country
his father died when he was 12,and at 14 years old he was first jailed
he hit a man in self defence, now he would be blamed for everything and everyone,ignorance was rife u see,horse stealing was his claim to be
such is life said ned kelly
read the letter jerilderie
one night a trooper came to his residence,violence erupted,trumped up charge for mrs.kelly,she was jailed for 3 years,ned swore vengence,and on the run,and at stringybark creek
it was in self defence,3 dead and misery,robbing banks to survive,iron outlaws they would be
glenrowan was his last stand you see,his brother and friends now all deceased
he was taken into custody,now to face the authorities
such is life said ned kelly
read the letter jerilderie
such is life said ned kelly
on the hangmans noose you see
and at 25
history
such is life
