nigel williams - we are lads of the southern cross lyrics

Loading...

we’ve heard about your trouble, tom
in rousting out the boer;
you shall not fight out there alone
amid the cannon’s roar
the blood that stirred our n0ble sires
to build up england’s fame
re-kindles in colonial sons
their prestige to maintain. for-

we are the lads of the southern cross
our stars shine on our flags-
emblazoned with the union jack
to show we’re empire lads

from storm-torn hills where tussocks wave
and dells where tree-ferns grow;
from snow-capp’d peaks, and rock-bound coast
we come,-to strike the blow
rest, british sons, till south-cross lads
canadian brothers meet-
then on we’ll press, an empire’s strength
and make the foe retreat. for-

we are the lads of the southern cross
our stars shine on our flags-
emblazoned with the union jack
to show we’re empire lads

if seditious traitors cross our path
and parley for the vaal
we’ll hang them up at kruger’s-dorp-
thus settle matters well
we’ll gather now the camp fire round
and make the billy sing;
be ready, lads, at bugle’s call
to fight for stars and queen. for-

we are the lads of the southern cross
our stars shine on our flags-
emblazoned with the union jack
to show we’re empire lads

with three cheers for the empire loud;
and for the queen,-hurray!
we’ll stick tight in our saddles, lads
to drive the foe away;
when once again our land shall loom
and kruger is no more
welcome we our native home-
and fair new zealand’s sh0r-. for-

we are the lads of the southern cross
our stars shine on our flags-
emblazoned with the union jack
to show we’re empire lads
