I was born within your reign
in a far off foreign land
Loyalty I did proudly fain
I swore an oath to protect you as a man
I first set eyes on you on Horse Guards Parade
when you led your Guards from atop Burmese
Much closer looks at you I made
in the Antipodes across the seas
You strode the world stage
physically and morally upright
When there was trouble and outrage
you proved your men would fight
I'm saddened you'll be with us no more
to rule with dignity and grace
But now you're with the crowned heads of yore
where you'll take your rightful place
