| A bright sun and a loosened rein | B |
| A whip whose pealing sound | C |
| Rings forth amid the forest trees | D |
| As merrily forth we bound | C |
| As merrily forth we bound my boys | E |
| And by the dawn's pale light | F |
| Speed fearless on our horses true | G |
| From morn till starry night | F |
| - | |
| Oh for a tame and quiet herd | H |
| I hear some crawler cry | I |
| But give to me the mountain mob | J |
| With the flash of their tameless eye | I |
| With the flash of their tameless eye my boys | E |
| As down the rugged spur | K |
| Dash the wild children of the woods | L |
| And the horse that mocks at fear | M |
| - | |
| There's mischief in you wide horned steer | M |
| There's danger in you cow | N |
| Then mount my merry horsemen all | O |
| The wild mob's bolting now | N |
| The wild mob's bolting now my boys | E |
| But 'twas never in their hides | P |
| To show the way to the well trained nags | Q |
| That are rattling by their sides | P |
| - | |
| Oh 'tis jolly to follow the roving herd | H |
| Through the long long summer day | R |
| And camp at night by some lonely creek | S |
| When dies the golden ray | R |
| Where the jackass laughs in the old gum tree | T |
| And our quart pot tea we sip | U |
| The saddle was our childhood's home | V |
| Our heritage the whip | U |
