- (continued from previous page)To straighten the banks where the Mulcaire river flows
lll
We march out every morning no light there doth shine
Except from New Pallas or the Great Railway line
We face Mickie Connell's and on through the mash
And straight for the Colbert we will make a dash
When we land at the tool box, all the men they are there
Discussing the work on the river Mulcaire
lV
At a quarter to eight, the foreman arrives
And the first thing he says is "Good morning now, boys "
"Get the tool box now open, to the nipper he says
Some men for a shovel, and more for a spade
The time is now up and away ye may go
And straighten the banks where the Mulcaire river flows(continues on next page)- Collector
