'Twas on the famous Empire run, / Whose sun does never set, / Whose grass and water, so they say, / Have never failed them yet -- / They carry many million sheep, / Through seasons dry and wet.
They call the homestead Albion House, / And then, along with that, / There's Welshman's Gully, Scotchman's Hill, / And Paddymelon Flat: / And all these places are renowned / For making jumbucks fat.
