Excerpt of “Waltzing Matilda” from “On the Beach” (1959)

What a great film ‘On the Beach’ was. I had not remembered that version of the song though - Australian’s do not normally sing it as a Negro Spiritual but rather an Aussie(see Irish) ditty.
Love the version though - initially thought it might be Paul Robeson but it gets a bit too light at the end for him - Who sings it?
