Ned Kelly

Ned Kelly is an Australian he is a Bushranger
He wasn’t around long but he wasn’t a stranger
His family was very, very poor
To live they needed much, much more
They lived on a government property which needed lots of work
When Kelly’s mum went to jail he went really, really berserk
He got his friends and bought some guns
And from then they were always on the run
They bought some steel
To keep from getting shot why they steal
He had his last fight
Which was one of his last sights
Getting shot 28 times in the body
He could say never goodbye to his horse Nody
He had no hope
When he got hung by a rope.
