Raise the flag will raise our voices
Wash our bodies in the sea
Leave a buried message
Then will carve our names into a tree

All my life I've yearned this moment
Now I've finally found success
Three more cheers before we venture
Back into the emptiness

Cross the wetland once again
Over stony gibber plain
Through the desert through the pain
On the long way home

Camped last night at Roper River
Ate some damper, drank some tea
Had a brief encounter
With some friendly aborigine

Cross the wetland once again
Over stony to gibber plain
Through the desert through the pain
On the long way home

Day by day my strength is failing
Losing vision from my eyes
Forced to eat dried horse's meat
We're near the end of our supplies

Cross the wetland once again
Over stony gibber plain
Through the desert through the pain
On the long way home

Pain has paralyzed my body
Robbed my pride and left me lame
Carry me between two horses
Lying on an iron frame

Cross the wetland once again
Over stony gibber plain
Through the desert through the pain
On the long way home

Now the journey's all but over
Countless miles with naught to show
But there's peace of mind in knowing
Nevermore I'll need to go

Cross the wetland once again
Over stony gibber plain
Through the desert through the pain
On the long way home

On the long way home
