[00:06.63] There's a name that Australia will never forget,
[00:10.64] The best known Australian I'd sure like to bet,
[00:15.00] Though granted it's over, dishonoured his name,
[00:18.65] Yet one thing is certain, Ned Kelly was game;
[00:22.55] "Game as Ned Kelly" the people would say, "
[00:26.26] "Game as Ned Kelly" they say it today. "
[00:33.05] Oh great was their fame when the Kelly boys rode,
[00:36.83] Those daring bushrangers with no fixed abode,
[00:40.99] They laughed at the law, a big price on their head,
[00:44.77] The troopers could never catch up with wild Ned;
[00:48.83] "Game as Ned Kelly" the people would say, "
[00:52.63] "Game as Ned Kelly" they say it today. "
[01:00.45] They stuck up the stations but never were caught,
[01:05.14] But everyone reckons that Ned was a sport,
[01:08.53] They captured a township, those bushrangers bold,
[01:12.72] Then off to the ranges they rode with the gold;
[01:16.08] "Game as Ned Kelly" the people would say, "
[01:20.80] "Game as Ned Kelly" they say it today. "
[01:27.14] But at last at Glenrowan the Kelly gang fell,
[01:30.78] While fighting for life from the burning hotel,
[01:34.66] When out came Ned Kelly still blazing away,
[01:38.53] 'til wounded by troopers he fell in the grey;
[01:42.71] "Game as Ned Kelly" the people would say, "
[01:46.09] "Game as Ned Kelly" they say it today. "
[01:55.22] And so to the gallows the outlaw was led,
[01:59.08] "Now die like a Kelly" his mother had said, “
[02:02.97] "A fate such is life" the bold bushranger sighed, “
[02:06.24] The trapdoor sprang open and Ned Kelly died;
[02:10.76] "Game as Ned Kelly" the people would say, "
[02:14.30] "Game as Ned Kelly" they say it today. "
[02:21.18] And so young Australians take heed of this song,
[02:25.17] Be game as you like but don't do any wrong,
[02:28.79] Remember the warning ‘that crime doesn't pay',
[02:33.45] Remember Ned Kelly and walk the straight way;
[02:37.43] "Game as Ned Kelly" the people would say, "
[02:41.29] "Game as Ned Kelly" they say it today. "
