Some born of homely parents	A
For ages settled down	B
The steady generations	C
Of village farm and town	B
And some of dusky fathers	D
Who wandered since the flood	E
The fairest skin or darkest	F
Might hold the roving blood	E
Some born of brutish peasants	A
And some of dainty peers	G
In poverty or plenty	H
They pass their early years	G
But born in pride of purple	I
Or straw and squalid sin	J
In all the far world corners	D
The wanderers are kin	J
	-
A rover or a rebel	I
Conceived and born to roam	K
As babies they will toddle	I
With faces turned from home	K
They ve fought beyond the vanguard	L
Wherever storm has raged	M
And home is but a prison	N
They pace like lions caged	M
	-
They smile and are not happy	H
They sing and are not gay	O
They weary yet they wander	P
They love and cannot stay	O
They marry and are single	I
Who watch the roving star	Q
For by the family fireside	R
Oh lonely men they are	Q
	-
They die of peace and quiet	S
The deadly ease of life	T
They die of home and comfort	U
They live in storm and strife	T
No poverty can tie them	V
Nor wealth nor place restrain	W
Girl wife or child might draw them	V
But they ll be gone again	X
	-
Across the glowing desert	U
Through naked trees and snow	Y
Across the rolling prairies	Z
The skies have seen them go	Y
They fought to where the ocean	N
Receives the setting sun	N
But where shall fight the rovers	D
When all the lands are won	N
	-
They thirst on Greenland snowfields	D
On Never Never sands	D
Where man is not to conquer	P
They conquer barren lands	D
They feel that most are cowards	D
That all depends on nerve	A2
They lead who cannot follow	Y
They rule who cannot serve	A2
	-
Across the plains and ranges	D
Away across the seas	D
On blue and green horizons	D
They camp by twos and threes	D
They hold on stormy borders	D
Of states that trouble earth	B2
The honour of the country	H
That only gave them birth	B2
	-
Unlisted uncommissioned	U
Untaught of any school	C2
In far away world corners	D
Unconquered tribes they rule	C2
The lone hand and revolver	P
Sad eyes that never quail	D2
The lone hand and the rifle	I
That win where armies fail	D2
	-
They slumber sound where murder	P
And treachery are bare	E2
The pluck of self reliance	D
The pluck of past despair	E2
Thin brown men in pyjamas	D
The thin brown wiry men	X
The helmet and revolver	P
That lie beside the pen	X
	-
Through drought and desolation	N
They won the way Out Back	F2
The commonplace and selfish	G2
Have followed on their track	F2
They conquer lands for others	D
For others find the gold	U
But where shall go the rovers	D
When all the lands are old	U
	-
A rover and a rebel	I
And so the worlds commence	D
Their hearts shall beat as wildly	H
Ten generations hence	D
And when the world is crowded	U
Tis signed and sealed by Fate	U
The roving blood will rise to make	H2
The countries desolate	U
