When you shout, “ We’ve won the rubber, And the ‘ Ashes ’ now are ours,” When these sounds of praise have issued from your mouth, W ill you kindly think of one, By whose pluck we’ve won the day— I mean the captain of our “ Island in the South.” By his grim determination And his able powers of play, For skilled with bat and ball you’ll alwayB rind him, From the first time that he led us Until now, this later day, He has never once gone back or looked ben ud him. Noble, N oble; he is the man we mean; He’s the best all-round man art the present time, they say; So we’re getting a fund to acknowledge his worth And this season of brilliant play, So pass the hat round for credit’s sake, and pay ! pay ! pay !
