Queensland Mounted Infantry 

Poem written by A B 'Banjo' Paterson and set to music by Wallis and Matilda. This recording can be found on the CD 'Song Of The Pen'
QUEENSLAND MOUNTED INFANTRY
There’s a very well-built fellow, with a swinging sort of stride.
About as handy sort as I have ever seen.
A rough and tumble fellow that is born to fight and ride
And he’s over here a-fighting for the Queen.
He’s Queensland Mounted Infantry -- compounded ‘orse and foot.
He’ll climb a cliff or gallop down a flat.
He’s cavalry to travel but he’s infantry to shoot.
And you’ll know him by the feathers in his hat!
