Blame It On The Kellys Lyrics by Waylon Jennings

Someone stole old Banyon's pig. Blame it on the Kellys !
Pat McGavin's horse and rig. Blame it on the Kellys !
Someone robbed the Sydney mail, sacked the church and cleared the jail,
and if the ‘tater crop should fail – they'll blame it on the Kellys.
Blame it on the Kelly boys, blame it on the Kellys,
shame, shame upon the name, blame it on – the Kellys.

If anybody steals a horse, blame it on the Kellys !
Anybody breaks the law, blame it on the Kellys !
If anyone does something new, or does what you would like to do,
and if the troopers don't know who – they'll blame it on the Kellys.
Blame it on the Kelly boys, blame it on the Kellys,
shame, shame upon the name, blame it on – the Kellys.

They're posted up on every wall. Blame it on the Kellys !
There's no crime too great or small, to blame it on the Kellys !
They killed a thousand so they tell,
you know they're bound to burn in hell,
I think I'll steal a horse myself – and blame it on the Kellys.
Blame it on the Kelly boys, blame it on the Kellys,
shame, shame upon the name, blame it on – the Kellys.

Someone killed old Jim Divine. Blame it on the Kellys !
‘Twas a dark and deadly crime. Blame it on the Kellys !
Someone killed old Jim Divine, we don't know the place or time,
Poor old man was a hundred and nine –
But blame it on the Kellys !
Blame it on the Kelly boys, blame it on the Kellys,
shame, shame upon the name, blame it on – the Kellys.

Them old lazy cows gone dry. Blame it on the Kellys !
Something made the baby cry. Blame it on the Kellys !
What's that you say, what's that you say?
Someone robbed the bank today
And though they were twenty miles away,
We'll blame it on the Kellys.
Blame it on the Kelly boys, blame it on the Kellys,
shame, shame upon the name, blame it on – the Kellys.

It hasn't rained in seven months. Blame it on the Kellys !
Sister Peggy's having fun. Blame it on the Kellys !
Your sister, Peg, has had her fun, but I fear that she's been badly done.
She's bulging out a bit in front. Blame it on the Kellys,
Blame it on the Kelly boys, blame it on the Kellys,
shame, shame upon the name, blame it on – the Kellys.

Landlord he closed down the mill. Blame it on the Kellys !
And not a word to my woman's ilk. Blame it on the Kellys !
Late last night when all was still,
Who crept over the windowsill?
He left us bread and he left us milk.
Blame it on the Kellys,
Blame it on the Kelly boys, blame it on the Kellys,
shame, shame upon the name, blame it on – the Kellys.
