So, you're all there! I fancied I'd have lived
To act as bearer to the lot of you—
Tom Dodd, Dick Dobson, Jacob Hetherington,
Mick Hall, Dan Lishman and Nick Ingledew:
So, you're all there, my hearties! and me here …
Well, I must say, you're six good lads and true!

Good lads and true are you to shoulder me
On the last jaunt I'll ever take with you—
Tom Dodd, Dick Dobson, Jacob Hetherington,
Mick Hall, Dan Lishman and Nick Ingledew
Now, keep in step; and, when your own time comes,
May you be borne by lads as good and true.
