Lyrics
A strapping young stockman lay dying,
his saddle supporting his head,
His two mates around him were crying,
as he rose on his pillow and said.

Wrap me up with my stockwhip and blanket,
and bury me deep down below
Where the dingoes and crows can’t molest me,
in the shade where the coolibahs grow.

Oh had I the flight of the Bronzewing,
far over the plains I would fly
Straight to the land of my childhood,
and there I would lay down and die

Then cut down a couple of saplings,
place one at my head and my toe
Carve on them cross, stockwhip and saddle,
to show there’s a stockman below.

Wrap me up with my stockwhip and blanket,
and bury me deep down below
Where the dingoes and crows can’t molest me,
in the shade where the coolibahs grow.

Hark! there is the wail of the dingo,
watchful and where I must go
For it tolls the death-knell of the stockman,
from the gloom of the scrub down below.

There’s tea in the battered old billy,
place pannikins out in a row
And we’ll drink to our next merry meeting,
In the place where all good fellows go.

Wrap me up with my stockwhip and blanket,
and bury me deep down below
Where the dingoes and crows can’t molest me,
in the shade where the coolibahs grow.

And often the shades of the twilight,
when the soft winds are whispering low
and the darkening shadows are falling,
Sometimes think of the stockman below.

Wrap me up with my stockwhip and blanket,
and bury me deep down below
Where the dingoes and crows can’t molest me,
in the shade where the coolibahs grow.
