the world at large,
Hard Luck
I left the course, and by my side
Song of the Federation
As the nations sat together, grimly waiting --
The Old Australian Ways
The London lights are far abeam
The Ballad of the 'Calliope'
By the far Samoan shore,
Do They Know
Do they know? At the turn to the straight
The Passing of Gundagai
'I'll introdooce a friend!' he said,
The Wargeilah Handicap
Wargeilah town is very small,
Any Other Time
All of us play our very best game --
The Last Trump
'You led the trump,' the old man said
Tar and Feathers
Oh! the circus swooped down
It's Grand
It's grand to be a squatter
Out of Sight
They held a polo meeting at a little country town,

Men fight all shapes and sizes as the racing horses run,
What Have the Cavalry Done
What have the cavalry done?
Right in the Front of the Army
'Where 'ave you been this week or more,
That V.C.
'Twas in the days of front attack,
Fed Up
I ain't a timid man at all, I'm just as brave as most,
Jock!
There's a soldier that's been doing of his share
Santa Claus
Halt! Who goes there? The sentry's call

While waiting in the stand;
A reckless rider, over-bold,
The only man with hands to hold
The rushing Rio Grande.
He said, 'This day I bid good-bye
To bit and bridle rein,
To ditches deep and fences high,
For I have dreamed a dream, and I
Shall never ride again.
'I dreamt last night I rode this race
