Bend your head, and shed a tear,
For your sons, who serve so dear
Faith and Guts and Rifle Butts,
Left a trail, of blood stained dust.

So here we are, Where we belong,
173rd ,So proud and strong
Lift your head, and hold it high,
173rd is passing by.

Aussie Diggers, Fight with us too,
"Duty First" they say, their words are true
In Jungles deep, they showed us how,
We say "VC come fight us now" .

So here we are, Where we belong,
173rd, so proud and strong
Lift your head, and hold it high,
173rd is passing by.

Sweat upon, their sun burned brows,
173rd has shown them how
War Zone "D" we met our test,
Mekong Delta, We are the best.

So here we are, Where we belong,
173rd, So proud and strong
Lift your head, and hold it high
173rd is passing by.

To Nui Dat, the "Tigers" came,
With the "HERD" they won great fame.
Dak To and Tet, We won and died.
" Jungle of screaming souls" the NVA cried.

So here we are, Where we belong,
173rd, So proud and strong
Lift your head, and hold it high
173rd is passing by.

My wife who waits, at home so true,
I sing this song, my dear for you
Tell our son that I fight brave,
For Freedom Land which we must save.

So here we are, Where we belong,
173rd, So proud and strong
Lift your head, and hold it high
173rd is passing by.

It came out of our Society news letter with no author listed.  

Thanks for jogging the memory, I thought I saw it before (I get the news letter also) the memory is not as good as it use to be
