Streets of Forbes Lyrics & Tabs by Weddings Parties Anything
Streets of Forbes
guitar chords lyrics
Come all of you Lachlan men and a sorrowful tale I'll tell,
Concerning of a hero who through misfortune fell,
His name it was Ben Hall, a man of high renown,
He was hunted from his station,
He waslike a dog shot down.
For years he roamed the roads and he gave the traps some fun,
A thousand pounds placed on his head with Gilbert and Jackie Dunn,
Ben parted from his comrades, the outlaws did agree,
To give away bushranging, the would cross the briny see.
Ben went to Goobang creek, where upon the 5th of May,
The troopers filled him full of lead, as in his sleep he lay,
They wrapped him in a blanket, and they rolled him like a swag,
They lead him through the streets of Forbes,
To show what a price they had!
