'Where are you going with your horse and bike	A
And the townsfolk still at rest	B
Where are you going with your swag and pack	C
And the night still in the West	B
Your clothes are worn and your cheques are gone	D
But your eyes are free from care	E
We re bushmen down for a spree in town	F
And we re bound for the Lord knows where	E
Old chap we re bound for the Lord knows where	E
	-
There are great dark scrubs in the Lord knows where	E
Where they fight it out alone	G
There are wide wide plains in the Lord knows where	E
Where a man s soul is his own	G
There is healthy work there is healthy rest	B
There is peace from self torture there	E
And the glorious freedom from paltriness	H
And they re bound for the Lord knows where	E
	-
Now where are you going in your Sunday suit	I
And a bag for your second best	B
Now where are you going with your chest of tools	H
And the old togs in the chest	B
With your six clean shirts and a pound of weed	J
And enough for a third class fare	E
Oh I ll be afloat by the very next boat	K
And I m bound for the Lord knows where	E
Old chap I m bound for the Lord knows where	E
	-
There are wide wide seas to the Lord knows where	E
Where a man might have a spell	L
The things turn up in the Lord knows where that	M
We waited for too well	L
There s a stranger land in the Lord knows where	E
And a show for the stranger there	E
There is war and quake more work to make	N
And he s bound for the Lord knows where	E
	-
Now where are you going with your Gladstone bag	O
With your shirt case and valise	H
Now where are you going with your cap and shoes	H
And your looks of joyful peace	H
Now where are you going with your money belts	H
And your drafts on the first bank there	E
We have made a hit or we ve made a bit	P
And we re bound for the Lord knows where	E
Old chap we re bound for the Lord knows where	E
	-
There are sinful ports in the Lord knows where	E
There are marvellous sights to see	H
There are high old games in the Lord knows where	E
That were known to you and me	H
There is love and music and life and light from	Q
The Heads to Lester Square	E
There is more than space for their high young hearts	H
There is safety or danger there	E
And they ll come back wild or they ll come back tamed	R
When they ve been to the Lord knows where	E
	-
Now where am I going with my whisky flask	S
And with little else beside	T
Now where am I going with my second shirt	U
To wear while the first is dried	T
I have marred my name and I ve lost my fame	V
But my hope s in good repair	E
There are lies about there are warrants out	W
And I m bound for the Lord knows where	E
Old Chap and I m bound for the Lord knows where	E
	-
There s a rise and fall of the sloping decks	H
That is good for a soul in pain	X
There s the drowsy rest on the sunlight sea	H
Till your strength comes back again	Y
Oh the wild mad spirit is hypnotized	Z
And nerves are tranquil there	E
And the past is hushed in forgetfulness	H
On the road to the Lord knows where	E
