OUT in the west where runs are wide	A
And days than ours are hotter	B
Not very far from Lachlan Side	A
There dwelt a wealthy squatter	B
	-
Of old opinions he was full	C
An Englishman his sire	B
Was hated long where peasants pull	C
Their forelocks to the squire	D
	-
He loved the good old British laws	E
And Royalty s regalia	F
And oft was heard to growl because	E
They wouldn t fit Australia	F
	-
This squatter had a lovely child	G
An angel bright we thought her	B
And all the stockmen rude and wild	G
Adored the squatter s daughter	B
	-
But on a bright eventful morn	H
A swell of northern nation	I
A lordling brought his languid yawn	J
And eyeglass to the station	I
	-
He coveted the squatter s wealth	K
He saw the squatter s daughter	B
And what is more than heart or health	K
His empty title bought her	B
	-
And Yes the father made her say	L
In spite of tears and kissing	M
But early on the wedding day	L
The station found her missing	M
	-
And madder still the squatter grew	N
And madder still the lover	B
When by and by a missing too	N
A stockman they discover	B
	-
Then on the squatter s brow the frown	O
Went blacker still and blacker	B
He sent a man to bring from town	O
A trooper and a tracker	B
	-
The dusty rascal saw the trail	P
He never saw it plainer	B
The reason why he came to fail	P
Will take a shrewd explainer	B
	-
A day and night the party lose	Q
The track the tracker parried	R
And then a stockman brought the news	Q
The runaways were married	R
	-
The squatter swore that he d forgive	S
Perhaps when he forgot her	B
But he d disown her while he d live	T
And while they called him squatter	B
	-
But as the empty months went o er	B
To ease his heart s vexation	O
He brought his bold young son in law	U
To manage stock and station	O
	-
And glad was he that he forgave	V
Because a something had he	W
To keep his gray hairs from the grave	V
And call him Dear Grand Daddy	W
	-
To Democratic victories	X
In after years he d listen	O
And strange to say to things like these	X
His aged eyes would glisten	O
	-
The lordling took another girl	Y
Not quite of his desire	B
And went to where the farmers twirl	Y
Their forelocks to the squire	B
	-
Now often to the station comes	Z
An old and wrinkled tracker	B
They cheer his heart with plenty rum	A2
And plenty pheller bacca	M
