Ah, I think I got just a little too smart (again), and said the wrong thing (only guessing at the Down-under slang from my old camp days when we sang this song, 60 years ago).
No problem at all. I’m just playing with the various verses of Waltzing Matilda which is one of my all time favorite songs.
It was featured very well in the movie ‘On the Beach’ and I really appreciated how rich it is when played with various musical interpretations.
I just added a few of my own ‘interpretations’, that’s all.
For what it’s worth, I was born and raised in Chicago and I have lived stateside all my life other than a short trip to Jamaica.
