I was a girl of thirteen when my brothers went off to the war

Three Australian Light Horsemen I see their proud figures today

Our parents were Irish with no love for England at all
G D C D Am D
But their sons were Australian and each bravely answered the call

In their turned up slouch hats, and their feathers and leggings and spurs

The Empire as much as my mother knew these sons were hers

And at the going down of the sun and in the morning

I will remember them, I can't forget

But i saw his slumped shoulders, and i heard his heart rending sob

And at the going down of the sun and in the morning
Am D G D C
