WE LEARNT the creed at Hungerford, We learnt the creed at Bourke; We learnt it in the good times, And learnt it out of work. We learnt it by the harbour-side And on the billabong: "No matter what a mate may do, A mate can do no wrong!"
He's like a king in this respect (No matter what they do), And, king-like, shares in storm and shine The Throne of Life with you. We learnt it when we were in gaol, And put it in a song: "No matter what a mate may do, A mate can do no wrong!"
