| The mobs of cattle go | B |
| They travel down in sun and shine | A |
| On dusty stage and slow | B |
| The drovers riding slowly on | C |
| To let the cattle spread | D |
| Will say Here's one old landmark gone | E |
| For old man Tyson's dead | D |
| - | |
| What tales there'll be in every camp | F |
| By men that Tyson knew | G |
| The swagmen meeting on the tramp | F |
| Will yarn the long day through | G |
| And tell of how he passed as Brown | H |
| And fooled the local men | I |
| But not for me I struck the town | H |
| And passed the message further down | H |
| That's T Y S O N | I |
| - | |
| There stands a little country town | H |
| Beyond the border line | A |
| Where dusty roads go up and down | H |
| And banks with pubs combine | A |
| A stranger came to cash a cheque | B |
| Few were the words he said | D |
| A handkerchief about his neck | B |
| An old hat on his head | D |
| - | |
| A long grey stranger eagle eyed | J |
| Know me Of course you do | G |
| It's not my work the boss replied | J |
| To know such tramps as you | G |
| Well look here Mister don't be flash | K |
| Replied the stranger then | I |
| I never care to make a splash | K |
| I'm simple but I've got the cash | K |
| I'm T Y S O N | I |
| - | |
| But in that last great drafting yard | L |
| Where Peter keeps the gate | M |
| And souls of sinners find it barred | L |
| And go to meet their fate | M |
| There's one who ought to enter in | N |
| For good deeds done on earth | O |
| One who from Peter's self must win | N |
| That meed of sterling worth | O |
| - | |
| Not to the strait and narrow gate | M |
| Reserved for wealthy men | I |
| But to the big gate opened wide | J |
| The grizzled figure eagle eyed | J |
| Will saunter up and then | I |
| Old Peter'll say Let's pass him through | G |
| There's many a thing he used to do | G |
| Good hearted things that no one knew | G |
| That's T Y S O N | I |
