Euroka go over the tops of the hillA
For the Death clouds have passed us to dayB
And we'll cry in the dark for the foot falls stillA
And the tracks which are fading awayB
Let them yell to their lubras the Bulginbah dogsC
And say how our brothers were slainD
We shall wipe out our grief in the blood of their chiefE
And twenty more dead on the plainD
On the blood spattered spurs of the plainD
But the low winds sighF
And the dead leaves flyF
Where our warriors lieF
In the dingoes' den in the white cedar glenG
On the banks of the gloomy UraraH
Urara UraraH
On the banks of the gloomy UraraH
-
The Wallaroos grope through the tufts of the grassI
And crawl to their coverts for fearH
But we'll sit in the ashes and let them passI
Where the boomerangs sleep with the spearH
Oh our hearts will be lonely and low to nightJ
When we think of the hunts of yoreH
And the foes that we sought and the fights which we foughtK
With those who will battle no moreH
Who will go to the battle no moreH
For the dull winds sighF
And the dead leaves flyF
Where our warriors lieF
In the dingoes' den in the white cedar glenG
On the banks of the gloomy UraraH
Urara UraraH
On the banks of the gloomy UraraH
-
Oh the gorges and gullies are black with crowsL
And they feast on the flesh of the braveM
But the forest is loud with the howls of our foesL
For those whom they never can saveM
Let us crouch with our faces down to our kneesN
And hide in the dark of our hairH
For we will not return where the camp fires burnO
And see what is smouldering thereH
What is smouldering mouldering thereH
Where the sad winds sighF
The dead leaves flyF
And our warriors lieF
In the dingoes' den in the white cedar glenG
On the banks of the gloomy UraraH
Urara UraraH
On the banks of the gloomy UraraH
