'I hear them speak of a Fed'ral site	A
Where shall arise a city bright	A
Mother where is this bonzer spot	B
Shall we not seek it and build our cot	B
Is it in some mild and temp'rate zone	C
Where the native of drought is never known '	D
'Not theah not theah me che ild '	D
	-
	-
'Is it where the mighty ranges rise	E
And point their white tops to the skies	E
Where mountain torrents hurry down	F
Past thriving farm and peaceful town	F
Where our great city may be planned	G
A credit to our native land '	-
'Not on yer life me che ild '	-
	-
	-
'Is it where the noble rivers flow	H
And fruit and corn abundant grow	H
Where wide and verdant grasslands sweep	I
And pleasant orchards fruited deep	I
Reach out for miles across the plains	J
Smiling to sun and grateful rains '	-
'You bet it ain't me che ild '	-
	-
	-
'Is it far away in the Empty North	K
Where the camel trains pro back and forth	K
Some unprotected distant spot	B
Where the populace congesteth not	B
Fair to our foeman's envious eye	L
Which 'twould be ivise to occupy '	-
'Right off the track me che ild '	-
	-
	-
'Is it in that land where grows the spud	M
And the patient dairy cow her cud	M
Doth ruminate while high green maize	N
And oats and rape delight her days	N
Where pumpkins large as great barn doors	O
Astonish country edi tors '	-
'That ain't the place me che ild '	-
	-
	-
'Is it where the squatters squat their sheep	I
And large and easy incomes reap	I
That fertile land unpeopled still	P
Where none may delve or grow or till	P
Those large unoccupied estates	Q
Where sheep lords reign and dodge their rates '	-
'Clean out of it me che ild '	-
	-
	-
'Then mother where the devil is	R
This splendid city to be riz	R
Is it where the giant forest trees	S
Sway in the soft and balmy breeze	S
Where laughing brooklets twist and turn	T
Through gullies decked with tender fern '	-
'Aw give it up me che ild '	-
	-
	-
'Where the cocky prays me gentle lad	M
In vain for rain and the seasons bad	M
Come regularly once a year	U
And the outlook's permanently drear	U
Where the Cotter cots but mostly not	M
Right in the coastland's driest spot	M
'It is theah it is theah me che ild '	-
