Outlaw Frank Gardiner - Andy Irvine, Rens Van Der Zalm

Well Frank Gardiner he is caught at last he lies in Sydney gaol

For wounding Sergeant Middleton and robbing the Mudgee Mail

For plundering of the gold escort the Carcoar Mail also

And it was for gold he made so bold and not so long ago

His daring deeds surprised them all throughout the Sydney land

And on his friends he paid a call and he quickly raised a band

And fortune’s always favoured him until that time of late

Until Ben Hall and Gilbert met with their dreadful fate

Young Vane he has surrendered Ben Hall’s got his death wound

And as for Johnny Gilbert nar Binalong was found

He was there with Dunn thy were on the run when the troopers came in sight

Dunn wounded ran but the other man got slaughtered in the fight

Farewell, adieu to outlaw Frank, he was the poor man’s friend

The government has secured him for it’s laws he did offend

He boldly stood his trial and he answered with a breath

Do what you will you can but kill, and I have no fear of death

Day after day they remanded him, escorted from the bar

Fresh charges brought against him from neighbours near and far

And now it is all over and the sentence they have passed

All sought to find a verdict and ‘guilty' was at last

When lives you take a warning boys no woman ever trust

She will turn round I will be bound, Queen’s evidence the first

He’s doing two and thirty years, he’s doomed to serve the crown

And well may he say, he rues the day he met with Kitty Brown
