An’ we sails in a hour for Capetown—

So—just look after my gal!

REFRAIN

“Just look after my gal, will ye?

While I’m frontin’ the fire an’ the foe—

Like a good old pal, look after my gal—

An’ Gawd bless ye wheerever I go!

“If I fall, of course I’ll fall fightin’

For the honour an’ name of the Flag—

An’ I’ll only be one of ten thousand,
