lll
We march out every morning no light there doth shine
Except from New Pallas or the Great Railway line
We face Mickie Connell's and on through the mash
And straight for the Colbert we will make a dash
When we land at the tool box, all the men they are there
Discussing the work on the river Mulcaire

Some men for a shovel, and more for a spade
The time is now up and away ye may go
And straighten the banks where the Mulcaire river flows(continues on next page)
