Here lies a bloke who's just gone West, / A Number One Australian; / He took his gun and did his best / To mitigate the alien. / So long as he could get to work / He needed no sagacity; / A German, Austrian, or Turk, / Were all the same to Cassidy.
Whenever he could raise "the stuff"-- / A liquor deleterious / The question when he'd have enough / Was apt to be mysterious. / 'Twould worry prudent folks a lot / Through mental incapacity; / If he could keep it down or not, / Was all the same to Cassidy.
