Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHDHD IJIJKDKD| Some carry their swags in the Great North West | A |
| Where the bravest battle and die | B |
| And a few have gone to their last long rest | A |
| And a few have said Good bye | B |
| The coast grows dim and it may be long | C |
| Ere the Gums again I see | D |
| So I put my soul in a farewell song | C |
| To the chaps who barracked for me | D |
| Their days are hard at the best of times | E |
| And their dreams are dreams of care | F |
| God bless them all for their big soft hearts | G |
| And the brave brave grins they wear | F |
| God keep me straight as a man can go | H |
| And true as a man may be | D |
| For the sake of the hearts that were always so | H |
| Of the men who had faith in me | D |
| - | |
| And a ship side word I would say you chaps | I |
| Of the blood of the Don t give in | J |
| The world will call it a boast perhaps | I |
| But I ll win if a man can win | J |
| And not for gold nor the world s applause | K |
| Though ways to the end they be | D |
| I ll win if a man might win because | K |
| Of the men who believed in me | D |
