We Are The Boys Of Wonthaggi Poem by Francis Duggan

We are the boys of Wonthaggi the finest in Gippsland
And we are proud of who we are we'll have you understand
In football ovals through Gippsland we've carved our own renown
And when we lose we lose with pride and fighting we go down.

We are the boys of Wonthaggi in our Town we take pride
And we feel we're a chosen race and God is on our side
We live as honest people do and we help you if we can
And I feel proud when someone say he's a Wonthaggi man.

We are the boys of Wonthaggi and we're proud of who we are
And to meet our very equals one would have to travel far
You can have your Sydneys and Melbournes Wonthaggi will do me
That beautiful old country Town down by the Gippsland sea.

We are the boys of Wonthaggi the pride of Gippsland south
And we're known as Wonthaggites for miles and miles about
We live as honest people do and we help you if we can
And I feel proud when someone say he's a Wonthaggi man.
