Ol’ Mate Ned Kelly

And Ol’ Mate Ned Kelly as he stood at the noose,
His past in the past he had nothing to lose,
He recalled the events that followed so recent,
How from their high advantage they began to descend,
“Ah well, I suppose it has come to this, such is life,” he muttered, that night still so fresh,

Then PING went the noose . . .
