| We ll honour the man who can t afford | G |
| To wait for a job that suits | H |
| But sticks a swag on his shoulders broad | I |
| And his feet in blucher boots | H |

| And over the burning sand | K |
| To look for work where the stations are | J |
| In the lonely Western land | K |
| - | |
| He ll brave the drouth and he ll brave the rain | L |
| And fight his sorrows down | M |
| And help to garden the inland plain | L |
| And build the inland town | M |
| And he ll be found in the coming years | N |
| With a heart as firm and stout | O |
| An honoured man with the pioneers | N |
| Who lead the people out | O |
