the letter lyrics
[verse 1]
from gerroa to jerilderie we were the grand performers
we took the banks for all they had in store
and charmed the townsfolk with our crack and knew that no informers
would give us up or speak against the four
[verse 2]
we took delight in riding free the masters of our fate
heroes to the battlers all around
but nagging, rage and bitterness still greet me when i wake
and so, the world must know what lies abound
[chorus]
in the quiet times i see that it has all got out of hand
for dan and steve and joe will fall with me
and who will know what droves to this life and to this end?
so, i’ll put it in this letter now for everyone to see
[verse 3]
for widows and the murderer, the bright days and the dark
by my own hand the story will unfold
my sister’s virtue, mother’s love before that stringybark
all victims of the lies fitzpatrick told
[verse 4]
to the traitor irish policemen who served the british crown
to the rich whose greed leave nothing to the poor
to those with cause to fear me, and to seek to bring me down
i give fair warning vengeance swift and sure
[chorus]
in the quiet times i see that it has all got out of hand
for dan and steve and joe will fall with me
and who will know what droves to this life and to this end?
so, i’ll put it in this letter now for everyone to see
[verse 5]
this letter bears a promise like a whispering in the sails
all the rust that turns victoria’s field of corn
like the dry that brings the locust to the crops in new south wales
are you listening, can you hear the coming storm?
[chorus]
in the quiet times i see that it has all got out of hand
for dan and steve and joe will fall with me
and who will know what droves to this life and to this end?
so, i’ll put it in this letter now for everyone to see
