(Henry Lawson)
cho: Australia's a big country, and
freedom's humping bluey
And Freedom's on the Wallaby, oh, can't you hear her cooey?
She's just begun to boomerang, she'll knock the tyrant silly
She's going to light
another fire and boil another billy.
Our fathers toiled for bitter bread while loafers
toiled beside them,
For food to eat and clothes to wear, their native land denied
them.
And so they left their native land in spite of their devotion
And so they came, or
if they stole, were sent across the ocean.
Then freedom couldn't stand the glare of
royalty's regalia
She left the loafers where they were and came out to Australia.
But now
across the mighty main the chains have come to bind her
She little thought to see again the
wrongs she left behind her.
Our fathers grubbed to make a home; hard grubbing 'twas and
clearing
They wasn't troubled with the lords when they were pioneering;
But now that we
have made this land a garden full of promise
Old greed must crook his dirty hand and come to
take her from us.
So we must fly a rebel flag as others did before us
And we must
sing a rebel song and join in the rebel chorus.
We'll make the tyrants feel the sting of those
that they would throttle,
They needn't say the fault was ours if blood should stain the
wattle.
Note: humping bluey = shouldering a blanket and walking the outback
cooey = call
wattle = a fence of woven twigs
