歌曲歌詞
I recollect his joining
I liked him from the first
His smile was everlasting
Unquenchable his thirst
Oh I ventured once to ask him
What made him take to booze
He muttered ah forget it
I drink because I choose
It wasn't quite an answer
He saw that I'd was hurt
And hastened to repair things
But ah forget it first
I didn't mean to snub you
Then shook me by the hand
A woman but forget it
I said
I understand
Then he shouted me a whiskey
And paid for two or three
And grumbled ah forget it
When I said This one's on me
His heart was like old Phar Laps
As big and just as great
And many a needy cobber
A helping hand he gave
When came the day for sailing
To foreign parts unknown
We all had friends to cheer us
But he was there alone
Until the grey haired lady
A mothers eyes alight
Said son I'll keep on praying
For you both day and night
With ah forget it mother
Those things will be ok
We stumbled up the gangplank
And so we sailed away
Well soon the old battalion
Was fighting in the line
And you know finer hero
Than this old friend of mine
One night out in the jungle
When we had made a break
I learned just why the digger
Is the bravest thing God made
Wounded in the shell hole
And wallowing in mire
The battle stormed around me
With crackling rifle fire
Machine guns loudly stuttered
And swept the shell hole rim
When someone dropped beside me
Oh I knew that it was him
And his cheery voice was saying
Buck up
This wars a cow
But ah forget it cobber
For I'll get ya back somehow
Despite that mad infernal
He safely brought me through
But not before the other side
Had badly got him too
In choking words I thanked him
