Big Bad Bushranger Lyrics

You've heard about Ned Kelly and those other famous crooks

You've seen them on the telly and read their histories in books

But here's a little ditty about a bloke so bad and mean

An evil viscous outlaw, the worst that's ever been

Out in the bush where the kookaburras fly

And the gumtrees reach to the clear blue sky

There's a cave in a hillside where I hide

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

Deep in the cave is a big black hole

That's filled to the brim with blocks of gold

And diamond rings and things I stole

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

Late at night when the sun goes down

And everyone's asleep in town

I count all my money in my dressing gown

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

I'm a bush I'm a bush I'm a bush bushranger

Running from the law living on danger

Bang bang, hands up stick them up straight

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

Got a rope and a whip and a gun of course

And I'm chased everywhere by the bush police force

While I ride through the night on my big black horse

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

When the townsfolk see me ride

They lock their doors and stay inside

And find a place that's safe to hide

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

I'll ride thirty miles through the wind and hail

To hold up a bank or the royal mail

And I give all my money to my girlfriend Gail

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

I'm a bush I'm a bush I'm a bush bushranger

Running from the law living on danger

Bang bang, hands up stick them up straight

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

Big bad bush bush

A big bad bush bush

A big bad bush bush

Big bad bush bush ranger

I sleep every morning until half past nine

Have my breaky in bed and rise and shine

Get dressed in my best for my life of crime

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

I'm loved by the married women everywhere

While their silly old husbands curse and swear

And I haven't got a worry and I haven't got a care

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

I'm the terror of north west New South Wales

From the small bush towns to the outback trails

And I don't like judges and I don't like jails

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

I'm a bush I'm a bush I'm a bush bushranger

Running from the law living on danger

Bang bang, hands up stick them up straight

I'm a big bad bush bushranger

He's a bush he's a bush, he's a bush bushranger

Running from the law living on danger

Bang bang hands up stick them up straight

He's a big bad bush bushranger

I'm a big bad bush bush

Big bad bush bush

Big bad bush bushranger
