Biography:
June Tabor (born 31 December 1947 in Warwick, England) is considered one of the foremost English folk singers of her generation. Aside from her highly-acclaimed solo music career, she has also combined her talents with greats such as Maddy Prior (as one half of Silly Sisters), Martin Simpson, Elvis Costello and Oysterband. In 2004, and again in 2012, she was named Folk Singer of the Year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. In 2011 the album "Ragged Kingdom" by June Tabor & Oysterband was named "Album of the Year" in the fROOTS critics poll.

Come all of you Lachlan men, and a tearful tale I'll tell
A C#m
Concerning of a good man bold, who through misfortune fell
F#m B C#m
His name it was Ben Hall, a man of good renown
F#m B F#m C#m F#m
Who was hunted from his station and like a dog shot down

Three years he roamed the roads, and he showed the traps some fun
A C#m
A thousand pounds was on his head with Gilbert and John Dunn
F#m B C#m
Ben parted from his comrades, the outlaws did agree
F#m B F#m C#m F#m
To give away bushrangin' and cross the raging sea

Ben went to Goobang Creek and that was his downfall
A C#m
For riddled like a sieve was valiant Ben Hall
F#m B C#m
It was early in the morning, upon the fifth of May
F#m B F#m C#m F#m
That the seven police surrounded him, as in his sleep he lay

Bill Duggan he was chosen to shoot the outlaw dead
A C#m
The others fired madly, as if they were afraid
F#m B C#m
Then they rolled him in a blanket and they tied him to his prad
F#m B F#m C#m F#m
And they dragged him through the streets of Forbes to show the prize they had
