Kate Kelly lyrics

Artist  : Whitlams 
Song : Kate Kelly



 Send "Kate Kelly" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
So you just keep on drinking

and you try to
forget

How they strung up Joe Byrne

to
the jailhouse door

He looked just 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 are dying



They had to shoot out his legs Kate

and if you could sleep

You could forget
the way 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

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

Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly

I'm gonna sing
you to sleep



You just keep on
drinking

and you try to forget

How
they strung up Joe Byrne

to the jailhouse
door

Like a marionette
