A Thousand Miles Away Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDBEBFFBB GHBB| Hurrah for the Roma railway Hurrah for Cobb and Co | A |
| And oh for a good fat horse or two to carry me Westward Ho | A |
| To carry me Westward Ho my boys that's where the cattle stray | B |
| On the far Barcoo where they eat nardoo a thousand miles away | B |
| Chorus | C |
| Then give your horses rein across the open plain | D |
| We'll ship our meat both sound and sweet nor care what some folks say | B |
| And frozen we'll send home the cattle that now roam | E |
| On the far Barcoo and the Flinders too a thousand miles away | B |
| Knee deep in grass we've got to pass for the truth I'm bound to tell | F |
| Where in three weeks the cattle get as fat as they can swell | F |
| As fat as they can swell my boys a thousand pounds they weigh | B |
| On the far Barcoo where they eat nardoo a thousand miles away | B |
| - | |
| No Yankee hide e'er grew outside such beef as we can freeze | G |
| No Yankee pastures make such steers as we send o'er the sea | H |
| As we send o'er the seas my boys a thousand pounds they weigh | B |
| From the far Barcoo where they eat nardoo a thousand miles away | B |
