Come all you Lachlan men and a sorrowful tale I'll tell
Am C D E7
Concerning of a hero bold who through misfortune fell
Am D E
His name it was Ben Hall, a man of high renown
Am C D F E Am
He was hunted from a station and like a dog shot down
Am C D E
Three years he roamed the roads and he showed the traps some fun
Am C D E7
A thousand pounds was on his head with Gilbert and John Dunn
Am D E
Ben parted from his comrades, the outlaws did agree
Am C D F E Am
To give away bushranging and to cross the briny sea
Am C D E
Ben went to Goobang Creek and that was his downfall
Am C D E7
For riddled like a sieve was the valiant Ben Hall
Am D E
T'was early in the morning upon the fifth of May
Am C D F E Am
That the seven police surrounded him as in his sleep he lay
Am C D E
Bill Duggan he was chosen to shoot the outlaw dead
Am C D E7
The troopers then fired madly and filled him full of lead
Am D E
They rolled him in a blanket and strapped him to his prad
Am C D F E Am
And they led him through the streets of Forbes to show the prize they had.
