When the world was wide and craft was lean
There arrived a man with a simple dream
A dream for a fair and an honest land
Where man was judged with and even hand
The battler and the digger could make their pile
Tramp through the country mile after mile
A land where everyone hads their say
Henry Lawson where's that dream today?
Aye aye Henry's men,
Will we ever see the like again?
From the fileds of flowers to the black soil plain
Aye aye Henry's men
Aye aye Henry's men,
Will we ever see the like again?
From the city the bush and back again
Aye aye henry's men
Aye Aye henry's men
A man would work in the seering heat
In an outback shed shearing sheep
He was a bloke you'd call a mate with pride
Defind his honour til' the day you die
The publican, the squatter, enemys swore
First in the fight the last one to fall
Took his knocks like he took their pain
Henry Lawson, where's that man today?
Aye aye Henry's men,
Will we ever see the like again?
From the fileds of flowers to the black soil plain
Aye aye Henry's men
Aye aye Henry's men,
Will we ever see the like again?
From the city the bush and back again
Aye aye henry's men
Aye Aye henry's men
Was the blood spilled on the wattle all in vain?
Or will wee Henry's vision rise again?
Will the faces in the street remember henry's dream?
Or is it lost in the noise of the big machine
As the Tv blares...
As we make new friends on the internet
As our nations flame burns bright
The publican further lights the light
Henry's dream will never die, Henry Lawson we hold you banner high.
Aye aye Henry's men,
Will we ever see the like again?
From the fileds of flowers to the black soil plain
Aye aye Henry's men
Aye aye Henry's men,
Will we ever see the like again?
From the city the bush and back again
Aye aye henry's men
Aye Aye henry's men
Oh yes,
Aye aye Henry's men,
Will we ever see the like again?
From the fileds of flowers to the black soil plain
Aye aye Henry's men
Aye aye Henry's men,
Will we ever see the like again?
From the city the bush and back again
Aye aye henry's men
Aye Aye henry's men
Aye Aye Henry's men
