The night too quickly passes	A
And we are growing old	B
So let us fill our glasses	A
And toast the Days of Gold	B
When finds of wondrous treasure	C
Set all the South ablaze	D
And you and I were faithful mates	E
All through the roaring days	D
	-
Then stately ships came sailing	F
From every harbour's mouth	G
And sought the land of promise	H
That beaconed in the South	G
Then southward streamed their streamers	I
And swelled their canvas full	J
To speed the wildest dreamers	I
E'er borne in vessel's hull	K
	-
Their shining Eldorado	L
Beneath the southern skies	M
Was day and night for ever	C
Before their eager eyes	M
The brooding bush awakened	N
Was stirred in wild unrest	O
And all the year a human stream	P
Went pouring to the West	O
	-
The rough bush roads re echoed	Q
The bar room's noisy din	R
When troops of stalwart horsemen	S
Dismounted at the inn	R
And oft the hearty greetings	T
And hearty clasp of hands	U
Would tell of sudden meetings	T
Of friends from other lands	U
When puzzled long the new chum	V
Would recognise at last	W
Behind a bronzed and bearded skin	R
A comrade of the past	W
	-
And when the cheery camp fire	C
Explored the bush with gleams	X
The camping grounds were crowded	Y
With caravans of teams	X
Then home the jests were driven	S
And good old songs were sung	Z
And choruses were given	S
The strength of heart and lung	Z
Oh they were lion hearted	Y
Who gave our country birth	A2
Oh they were of the stoutest sons	B2
From all the lands on earth	A2
	-
Oft when the camps were dreaming	F
And fires began to pale	C2
Through rugged ranges gleaming	F
Would come the Royal Mail	C2
Behind six foaming horses	A
And lit by flashing lamps	D2
Old Cobb and Co 's' in royal state	E2
Went dashing past the camps	D2
	-
Oh who would paint a goldfield	F2
And limn the picture right	G2
As we have often seen it	H2
In early morning's light	G2
The yellow mounds of mullock	F
With spots of red and white	G2
The scattered quartz that glistened	N
Like diamonds in light	G2
The azure line of ridges	A
The bush of darkest green	I2
The little homes of calico	F
That dotted all the scene	I2
	-
I hear the fall of timber	C
From distant flats and fells	J2
The pealing of the anvils	J2
As clear as little bells	J2
The rattle of the cradle	K
The clack of windlass boles	J2
The flutter of the crimson flags	J2
Above the golden holes	J2
	-
	-
	-
Ah then our hearts were bolder	C
And if Dame Fortune frowned	K2
Our swags we'd lightly shoulder	C
And tramp to other ground	K2
But golden days are vanished	L2
And altered is the scene	I2
The diggings are deserted	M2
The camping grounds are green	I2
The flaunting flag of progress	J2
Is in the West unfurled	N2
The mighty bush with iron rails	J2
Is tethered to the world	N2
