By Lawson's Hill near Mudgee	A
On old Eurunderee	B
The place they called New Pipeclay	C
Where the diggers used to be	D
On a dreary old selection	E
Where times were dry and thin	F
In a slab and shingle kitchen	E
There stood a flour bin	F
	-
'Twas ploorer with the cattle	C
'Twas rust and smut in wheat	G
'Twas blight in eyes and orchards	H
And coarse salt beef to eat	G
Oh how our mothers struggled	I
Till eyes and brain were dull	C
Oh how our fathers slaved and toiled	J
To keep those flour bins full	C
	-
We've been in many countries	K
We've sailed on many seas	K
We've travelled in the steerage	A
And lived on land at ease	K
We've seen the world together	B
Through laughter and through tears	L
And not been far from baker's bread	M
These five and thirty years	N
	-
The flats are green as ever	B
The creeks go rippling through	B
The Mudgee Hills are showing	O
Their deepest shades of blue	B
Those mountains in the distance	P
That ever held a charm	Q
Are fairer than a picture	B
As seen from Cox's farm	Q
	-
On a German farm by Mudgee	A
That took long years to win	F
On the wide bricked back verandah	M
There stands a flour bin	F
And the dear old German lady	M
Though the bakers' carts run out	M
Still keeps a fifty in it	M
Against a time of drought	M
	-
It was my father made it	M
It stands as good as new	B
And of the others like it	M
There still remain a few	B
God grant when drought shall strike us	R
The young will take a pull	C
And the old folk their strength anew	B
To keep those flour bins full	C
