| They are gathering round | B |
| Out of the twilight over the grey blue sand | C |
| Shoals of low jargoning men drift inward to the sound | B |
| The jangle and throb of a piano tum ti tum | D |
| Drawn by a lamp they come | D |
| Out of the glimmering lines of their tents over the shuffling sand | C |
| - | |
| O sing us the songs the songs of our own land | C |
| You warbling ladies in white | E |
| Dimness conceals the hunger in our faces | F |
| This wall of faces risen out of the night | E |
| These eyes that keep their memories of the places | F |
| So long beyond their sight | E |
| - | |
| Jaded and gay the ladies sing and the chap in brown | G |
| Tilts his grey hat jaunty and lean and pale | H |
| He rattles the keys some actor bloke from town | G |
| God send you home and then A long long trail | H |
| I hear you calling me and Dixieland | C |
| Sing slowly now the chorus one by one | I |
| We hear them drink them till the concert's done | I |
| Silent I watch the shadowy mass of soldiers stand | C |
| Silent they drift away over the glimmering sand | C |
