A strapping young stockman lay dying 
His saddle supporting his head 
All around him his comrades were standing
As he raised 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

Then cut down a couple of saplings 
Place one at my head and my toe 
Carve on them stockwhip and saddle 
Just 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

Give one guy my saddle and blanket,
Give Billy my bullets of lead
These two dark friends of my childhood
May remember a stockman's last bed. 

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

There's tea in the battered old billy 
Place the pannikins out in a row 
And we'll drink to the 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
