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,
