They have eaten their fill at your tables spread	A
Like friends since the land was won	B
And they rise with a cry of Australia's dead	A
With the wheeze of Australia's done	B
Oh the theme is stale but they tell the tale	C
How the weak old tale will keep	D
Like the crows that croak on a splintered rail	C
That have gorged on a rotten sheep	D
	-
I would sing a song in your darkest hour	E
In your darkest hour and mine	F
For I see the dawn of your wealth and power	E
And I see your bright star shine	F
The little men yelp and the little men lie	G
And they spread the lies afar	H
But we heed them never my Land and I	G
For we know how small they are	H
	-
They know you not in a paltry town	I
In the streets where great hopes die	G
Oh heart that never a flood could drown	I
And never a drought could dry	G
Stand forth from the rim where the red sun dips	J
Strong son of the land's own son	B
With the grin of grit on your drought chapped lips	J
And say is your country done	B
	-
Stand forth from the land where the sunset dies	K
By the desolate lonely shed	A
With the smile of faith in your blighted eyes	K
And say is your country dead	A
They see no future they know no past	L
The parasite cur and clown	I
Who talk of ruin and death to last	L
When a man or a land is down	I
	-
God sends for answer the rain the rain	M
And away on the western lease	N
The limitless plain grows green again	O
And the fattening stock increase	N
We'll lock your rivers my land my land	P
Dig lakes on the furthest run	B
While down in the corners where houses stand	P
They drivel Australia's done	B
	-
The parasites dine at your tables spread	A
As my enemies did at mine	F
And they croak and gurgle Australia's dead	A
While they guzzle Australian wine	F
But we heed them never my land my land	P
For we know how small they are	H
And we see the signs of a future grand	P
As we gaze on a rising star	H
