Ned Kelly was born in a Ramshackle Hut (Anonymous)

An anonymous ballad about Ned Kelly (1854 - 1880). Despite widespread protests, he was sentenced to death by Judge Redmond Barry “ When he sentenced Kelly to death by hanging, Barry uttered the customary words "May God have mercy on your soul". According to the transcripts, Kelly replied "I will go a little further than that, and say I will see you there when I go". On 23 November 1880, only twelve days after Kelly's execution, Sir Redmond Barry died from what the doctors described as 'congestion of the lungs and a carbuncle in the neck'.” (Wikipedia) ...........
