Ned Kelly's Brother

Kelly Ghosts! Dan Kelly lived and Steve Hart too, though the police thought they had fried. These men were written off it's true, though two bush rangers hadn't died Glenrowan caused a cover up, and innocence died in the fire. The higher ups were sold a pup, by the coppers some admire. The Kelly mob had got a win, two drunkards paid the price. To like free grog their only sin, Father Gibney didn't look twice. The Kelly's said they died in the fire, their bodies burnt to ash. To cover up I'd be a liar, to save two friends so rash. Many of these coppers left the force, and their masters did retire. The Glenrowan inquiry was the source, yes that bloody awful fire. Two men so dead and written off, would appear amongst the mire. Their ghosts were walking tall and soft, up near Hebel's border wire. one horse breaker earned an honest wage, no rope for him no noose.

This is why the Bushrangers had such great support . Famous Brisbane Psychic Jenny in 1998, verified Dan Kelly was Fred Layton , change the names she said. Jenny told my sceptic mum the dress colour and pattern exactly that sister Viney wore to a dance in 1944, and who was with her then, Jack Hoath and Bobby Lindsay etc...djohnson@scullywag.com
