| There was faces faces driftin' past | D |
| But never a one I knoo | B |
| An' I never 'ad felt the need so great | E |
| For a reel good mate an' true | F |
| - | |
| A lonely man in the Outback lands | G |
| Is a lonely man all right | H |
| Yet 'e 'as the sky an' the birds by day | I |
| An' 'e 'as the stars by night | H |
| But a lonely man in a crowd o' men | B |

| - | |
| Yes I found His house an' I lay me down | B |
| An' I dreamed of a kindly God | H |
| When a big policeman came along | L |
| An' banged me into quod | H |
| An' the cell was cold an' the bed was 'ard | H |
| But I thinks 'It's all right Bill ' | - |
| So I lay me down an' dreamed again | B |
| An' my Mate was with me still | M |
