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!
