Some folks say my old mate is gonna come to no good.
Well heâs a bit of a roughie,
And he doesnât always act like he should.
When thereâs trouble brewing, he wonât hesitate,
No doubt about it, heâs a bloody good mate.
Mate, weâve been through thick and thin,
The times youâve saved my skin,
When I needed a friend,
Youâve jumped right in.
Now, he brings home all kinds of dead things,
He likes to show everyone.
And he gets a bit on the nose sometimes,
And heâs proud of what heâs done.
Down by the chook house,
A King Brown was waiting to strike,
Well mate you rushed in and you probably saved my life.
Mate, weâve been through thick and thin,
The times youâve saved my skin,
When I needed a friend,
Youâve jumped right in.
Now heâs seen better days and he just hangs about,
Heâs lost a few teeth now,
And his coats falling out,
Itâll break my heart; after all weâve done,
When I call his name,
And he donât come.
Mate, weâve been through thick and thin,
The times youâve saved my skin,
When I needed a friend,
Whoaâ¦
Whoa, mate.
How the years roll by,
Youâre always at my side,
When I needed a friend,
Youâve jumped right in.
Whoa, mate.
