The men who camp with Danger	A
Are mostly quiet men	B
And one may use a rifle	C
And one may use a pen	B
And one may strap a camera	D
In deserts to his bike	E
But men who sleep with Danger	A
Are pretty much alike	E
To men in places pleasant	F
Or in the barren West	G
There s Danger ever present	F
A half unheeded guest	G
But thoughtful for the stranger	A
The timid or the weak	H
The men who camp with Danger	A
Keep watch but do not speak	H
The men who go with Danger	A
Are mostly dreamy eyed	I
Upon the swooping fo c sle	C
Or by the camp fire side	I
And when they sit in darkness	J
To show us where they are	K
The glowing of a pipe bowl	C
And often a cigar	K
The men who camp with Danger	A
Have quiet humour too	L
And songs that you ve forgotten	M
And real good yarns for you	L
There s little you can tell them	N
Of yourself or your own	O
That men who ve lived with Danger	A
Have never felt or known	O
The men who sleep with Danger	A
Sleep soundly while they may	P
But always wake at midnight	Q
Or just before the day	P
A something in the darkness	J
That shudders at the dawn	R
A side mate softly wakened	P
A rifle swiftly drawn	R
The men who sail with Danger	A
As actors are ideal	C
They lightly laugh to fool you	L
When Danger s very real	C
The men who sail with Danger	A
A wondrous insight have	S
They know if you are timid	P
They know if you are brave	T
The stewards set the tables	U
With careless practised care	V
And take accustomed comforts	W
To sea sick cabins there	V
They knock at doors of state rooms	X
With broth and tea and toast	P
While well they know it s touch and go	Y
And death sits on the coast	P
The man who lives with Danger	A
Has knowledge all his own	O
The instinct of a woman	M
Of men who fight alone	O
He learns from peace and comfort	P
He learns from care and strife	Z
Unwittingly from all things	A2
And from his native wife	Z
The men who live with Danger	A
See sermons in a log	B2
They have the nerves of horses	C2
The instincts of a dog	B2
When illness comes to loved ones	D2
They know where er they roam	E2
Have you seen without for reason	M
A farther start for home	E2
They know and feel our 'warnings'	D2
As only Gipsies do	L
They know the Norse Vardoger	A
They hear and see it too	L
They know when death has passed them	N
And the death watch is at end	P
They know when he is coming	F2
The Unexpected Friend	P
The men who live with Danger	A
They take things as they go	Y
In seeming unpreparedness	D2
To those who do not know	Y
They sleep when they have toiled and laughed	P
And fought for someone s sake	G2
But Danger whispers in their ear	A
And they are wide awake	G2
