| Me that 'ave been what I've been | B |
| Me that 'ave gone where I've gone | C |
| Me that 'ave seen what I've seen | D |
| 'Ow can I ever take on | E |
| With awful old England again | F |
| An' 'ouses both sides of the street | G |
| And 'edges two sides of the lane | H |
| And the parson an' gentry between | D |
| An' touchin' my 'at when we meet | G |
| Me that 'ave been what I've been | B |
| - | |
| Me that 'ave watched 'arf a world | I |
| 'Eave up all shiny with dew | J |
| Kopje on kop to the sun | K |
| An' as soon as the mist let 'em through | J |
| Our 'elios winkin' like fun | K |
| Three sides of a ninety mile square | L |
| Over valleys as big as a shire | M |
| quot Are ye there Are ye there Are ye there quot | J |
| An' then the blind drum of our fire | N |
| An' I'm rollin' 'is lawns for the Squire | M |
| Me | O |
| - | |
| Me htat 'ave rode through the dark | P |
| Forty mile often on end | J |
| Along the Ma'ollisberg Range | Q |
| With only the stars for my mark | P |
| An' only the night for my friend | J |
| An' things runnin' off as you pass | R |
| An' things jumpin' up in the grass | R |
| An' the silence the shine an' the size | S |
| Of the 'igh unexpressible skies | S |
| I am takin' some letters almost | J |
| As much as a mile to the post | J |
| An' quot mind you come back with the change quot | J |
| Me | O |
| - | |
| Me that saw Barberton took | T |
| When we dropped through the clouds on their 'ead | J |
| An' they 'ove the guns over and fled | J |
| Me that was through Di'mond I'll | U |
| An' Pieters an' Springs an' Belfast | J |
| From Dundee to Vereeniging all | V |
| Me that stuck out to the last | J |
| An' five bloomin' bars on my chest | J |
| I am doin' my Sunday school best | J |
| By the 'elp of the Squire an' 'is wife | W |
| Not to mention the 'ousemaid an' cook | T |
| To come in an' 'ands up an' be still | X |
| An' honestly work for my bread | J |
| My livin' in that state of life | W |
| To which it shall please God to call | V |
| Me | O |
| - | |
| Me that 'ave followed my trade | J |
| In the place where the Lightnin's are made | J |
| quot Twixt the Rains and the Sun and the Moon | Y |
| Me that lay down an' got up | Z |
| Three years with the sky for my roof | A2 |
| That 'ave ridden my 'unger an' thirst | J |
| Six thousand raw mile on the hoof | A2 |
| With the Vaal and the Orange for cup | Z |
| An' the Brandwater Basin for dish | B2 |
| Oh it's 'ard to be'ave as they wish | B2 |
| Too 'ard an' a little too soon | Y |
| I'll 'ave to think over it first | J |
| Me | O |
| - | |
| I will arise an' get 'ence | S |
| I will trek South and make sure | C2 |
| If it's only my fancy or not | J |
| That the sunshine of England is pale | D2 |
| And the breezes of England are stale | D2 |
| An' there's something' gone small with the lot | J |
| For I know of a sun an' a wind | J |
| An' some plains and a mountain be'ind | J |
| An' some graves by a barb wire fence | S |
| An' a Dutchman I've fought 'oo might give | E2 |
| Me a job where I ever inclined | J |
| To look in an' offsaddle an' live | F2 |
| Where there's neither a road nor a tree | O |
| But only my Maker an' me | O |
| An I think it will kill me or cure | C2 |
| So I think I will go there an' see | O |
