^ASo dig your reversed ^Drifles in the ^Emire of m^Aemory The s^Ewirling mists of time have healed the s^Acars You c^Alimbed that golden s^Dtairway to ^Ekeep our country ^Afree Where the j^Dungle hid your ni^Eghtmare from the s^Atars When ^Esullen days brought no relief from b^Alood, muck, and mire And ^Ddeath was ever s^Atriding at your b^Eack You t^Arod that hallowed path to be baptized in hell^Dfire The ^Aragged bloody heroes of that ^Egrim Kokoda t^Arack

Oh, the ^Edevil took the hindmost and the s^Anipers took the fore With no ^Dquarter asked or g^Aiven in that muddy, bloody ^Ewar With black ^Aangels there to guide them, salvoes by their ^Dside Those ^Dragged bloody h^Aeroes simply ^Emarched and fought and d^Aied

^AAstride a broken m^Dountaintop you ^Estood defiant^Aly As the ^Edevil took your comrades one by ^Aone He t^Aaunted you and ^Dbeckoned you to ^Eface eterni^Aty You sa^Dluted with a ^Eburning Thompson ^Agun His h^Eand was on your shoulder like a b^Aurning grip of steel But you t^Durned him and you f^Aought off his at^Etack You ^Abroke the devil's squadrons and you brought him to your h^Deel ^AThe ragged bloody heroes of that ^Egrim Kokoda t^Arack

Oh, the ^Edevil took the hindmost and the s^Anipers took the fore With no ^Dquarter asked or ^Agiven in that muddy, bloody ^Ewar While p^Aoliticians pondered and great generals swelled with ^Dpride Those ^Dragged bloody h^Aeroes simply ^Emarched and fought and ^Adied

With no s^Ahouldered arms or ^Dbayonet fixed they ^Emarch on Anzac ^ADay With the ^Dmemory of ^Awhite crosses, mounds of fresh-turned ^Eclay Of ^Agreen fields and a ^Dbugle call and a s^Eolemn requi^Aem And at the ^Asusgoing down of the sun and in the morning^E7 we will remember them ^A
