My grandfather went down with the Montevideo

Rising sun sent him floating to his rest
C A D F
And his wife fled south to Sydney seeking out safe harbour
C A D F
A north shore matron she became with some paying guests
C F
My father went down with the curse of big cities

Traffic tolls and deadlines took him to his peace

Now Bob Dyer glued us to our seats and lawns were always victa neat

And I hope the pen is mightier than any sword
