So long past gone that ship has sailed
They lay there alone in the wind and the hail
In the dark of the night in the sunshine haze
They gave up their lives to a Mansfield grave

The wren and the raven the wattle and the gum
Fly in the sky and soak up the sun
The rain it fall's as day follows night
And time will judge if you rode for the right

You can ride and hide to the hard bitter end
But for all that you've done you're already dead men
The wrongs that you've suffered shine bright as daylight
And time will judge if you rode for the right

The price on their heads was paid out in gold
And the stain on the land made the heart run cold
In dark dreams of sorrow they ride hand in hand
Those boys from Glenrowan who made a last stand

You can ride and hide to the hard bitter end
But for all that you've done you're already dead men
The wrongs that you've suffered shine bright as daylight
And time will judge if you rode for the right

In the rubble and ruin where danger's the feel
A wicked wind blows and then spins the wheel
Barbed wire a tangle and death on the land
A noose at the dangle for some poor wretched man

You can ride and hide to the hard bitter end
Make a last stand you're already dead men
The wrongs that you've suffered are as harsh as daylight
And time will judge if you rode for the right
