| And through the midnight gloom | B |
| A faery scene of woodland green | C |
| Her silver rays illume | B |
| Dark mountains show a ridge of snow | D |
| Against the deep blue sky | A |
| And a winding stream with sparkling gleam | B |
| Flows merrily murmuring by | A |
| Not a sound is heard save a bough when stirred | E |
| By the night wind's moaning sigh | A |
| Or piercing and shrill echoed back by the hill | F |
| A curlew's mournful cry | A |
| And twinkling bright in the shadowy night | G |
| A lonely taper shines | H |
| And seated there is a wanton fair | I |
| Who in amorous sadness pines | H |
| For her lord is gone and she sits alone | J |
| Alone in her mountain home | B |
| But 'twas not her lord that she deplored | K |
| For she liked to see him roam | B |
| The joy in her heart is a bushranger smart | L |
| Who lion like prowls in the night | G |
| And with supper all spread and a four post bed | M |
| She waits by the flickering light | G |
| Equipped for fight in trappings bright | G |
| Came a band of warriors there | I |
| By gallant Sir Fred right gallantly led | M |
| The 'ranger to seize in a snare | I |
| They spread all around and the house they surround | N |
| Nine men with revolver and gun | O |
| A reward's on his head cried the gallant Sir Fred | M |
| And we're nine to the bushranger's one | O |
| Still gleamed the light in the shades of the night | G |
| And still the pale moon shone | J |
| But no 'ranger came to cheer the dame | B |
| As she sat by the window alone | J |
| The warriors bold were freezing with cold | P |
| And wished they were in their beds | Q |
| When the echoing beat of a horse's feet | R |
| Sent the blood in a rush to their heads | Q |
| At gentle speed on a snow white steed | S |
| And singing a joyous song | T |
| To the beckoning light in the shadowy night | G |
| The bushranger rides along | T |
| A stalwart man was he to scan | U |
| And flushed with ruffian pride | V |
| In many a fray he had won the day | W |
| And the New Police defied | V |
| Up started then Sir Fred and his men | X |
| With cocked carbines in hand | Y |
| And called aloud to the 'ranger proud | Z |
| On pain of death to stand | Y |
| But the 'ranger proud he laughed aloud | Z |
| And bounding rode away | W |
| While Sir Frederick Pott shut his eyes for a shot | A2 |
| And missed in his usual way | W |
| His troopers then like valiant men | X |
| With their carbines blazed away | W |
| The whistling lead on its mission sped | M |
| But whither none can say | W |
| The snow white steed at a gentle speed | S |
| Bore the 'ranger from their view | B2 |
| And left Sir Fred to return to bed | M |
| There was nothing else to do | B2 |
| But Sir Frederick Pott with rage was hot | A2 |
| As he looked at his warriors eight | C2 |
| They were nine to one with revolver and gun | O |
| He cursed his luckless fate | C2 |
| He shuddered to think how his glory would sink | D2 |
| When the country heard of the mess | E2 |
| And the tale was told of his exploits bold | P |
| In the columns of the press | E2 |
| In fury then he marched his men | X |
| To the home of the wanton fair | I |
| With warlike din they entered in | F2 |
| To search and ransack there | I |
| In slumber sound a boy they found | N |
| And brave Sir Frederick said | M |
| By a flash in the pan we missed the man | U |
| So we'll take the boy instead | M |
