lyrics

It is lonely away from your kindred and all
In the bushland at night when the warrigals call
It is sad by the sea where the wild breakers boom
Or to look on a grave and contemplate doom

Cowards become brave
Weak become strong
Women grow happy
Burst forth into song

Madam with her needles sits still by the door
The boss smokes in silence, he is joking no more
There's a faraway look on the face of the bum
While the barmaid looks down at the paint on her thumb
And the cook has gone cranky and the yardman is queer
Oh a terrible place is a pub with no

Brew of brown barley, what charm is to shine
‘Neath thy spell men grow happy and cease to repine
The cowards become brave and the weak become strong
The dour and the grumpy burst forth into song

Cowards become brave
Weak become strong
Women grow happy
Burst forth into song

It is lonely away from your kindred and all
In the bushland at night when the warrigals call
But there's nothing on earth half as lonesome and drear
As to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer
