The rattling ‘donkey' ceases
The bell says we must part
You long slab of good-nature
And poetry and art!
We'll miss your smile in Sydney
We'll miss your care-free air
Where care-free airs are needed
And grins are growing rare
Good Health! Good pay! Good liquor
And good pals, night and day
Good morning and good evening
God bless you, Hugh McCrae!
