Bill Jackson - Jerilderie Lyrics

You and me in Jerilderie
Stayin' in a one room cell
The sun is settin' crimson gold
And the whisky's goin' down well

Outa the dark the peace is shattered
As a big rig hammer's by
A thousand stars press down on us
And we drink the night time sky

There's a shimmering haze and the highway's black
There's ghosts of horsemen dusty free
A gang of four ride into town and bail up Jerilderie

I see Colt revolving pistols
And banknotes hit the bar
A letter written inked in blood
And the police behind bars

You and me and the trucks baby
Dodgin' tumbleweeds
The Kelly Gangs alive and well
On the streets of Jerilderie
