lyrics

Come all of you Lachlan men and a sorrowful tale I'll tell
Concerning of a hero bold who by misfortune fell
His name it was Ben Hall a man of good renown
Who was taken from his station and like a dog shot down

Ten years he roamed the roads and he showed the traps some fun
A thousand pounds was on his head with Gilbert and John Dunn
Ben parted from his comrades the outlaws did agree
To give away bushranging
To give away bushranging
To give away bushranging and cross the briney sea

Twas early in the morning upon the fifth of May
When seven police surrounded him as fast asleep he lay
Bill Dargin he was chosen to shoot the outlaw dead
The troopers then fired madly and they shot him full of lead

They rolled him in a blanket and they strapped him to a prad
And they rolled him through the streets of Forbes to show the prize they had
And his name is was Ben Hall a man of good renown
Who was taken from his station and like a dog shot down
