24 Jul 09 - 07:06 AM (#2686683) Subject: Lyr Req: Kate Kelly's Request From: AnneMC Australian song - Kate Kelly's Request, a plea from Kate Kelly to her brother Ned to think of her while he is away. Does anyone have the lyrics for this song, or know who wrote it and who has recorded it? I heard it sung at The Shack in Sydney, by Kate Henshaw with Pete Doherty (Lyrebird). I don't think Kate or Pete wrote it, however, and they don't have it recorded. Thanks, AnneMC |

I would have liked chasing up something of Kate Kelly's ... as it seems she is something like my great-great-great-Aunt ... by my mother's line of descent from the Quinns - Ned and Kate's mother's side! Regards, Bob |

Mum's had the kid. Fitzpatrick's still lying about those things that he did, And it's getting harder to feed us all of the time. You know the troopers keep coming around. They asked everyone but there wasn't a sound. When they call out my name, Like they did the last time that they came, When they call our my name, Will you be there for me? It's months since they took Mum and Alice away. They'll never let 'em go; that's what they say, But maybe you can trade, and they'll set them free. You know the question keeps coming around. I looked for an answer. There's none to be found. When they call out my name, Like they did the last time that they came, When they call our my name, Will you be there for me? Oh, now, my brother, Brother, where will you be? When the hard rain is falling, Will you be there for me? When they call out my name, Like they did the last time that they came, When they call our my name, Will you be there for me? |

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening at The Shack, was the one of the highlights of our trip to Australia and I so much enjoyed the Kate Kelly song. Unfortunately I haven't retained the melody - have you recorded this song anywhere? Anne |
