There are 3 more verses. I don't think they add much to the song, but you may need them for your assignment: As I pass along the road, The children raise my dander Shouting "Mother dear, take in the clothes Here comes an Overlander". There's a girl in Sydney Town Who said "Please don't leave me lonely." I said "It's sad, but my old Prad Has room for one man only." But I'm bound for home once more On a Prad that's quite a goer. I can find a job with a crawling mob On the banks of the Maranoa.

@cuzzy28 That didn't come out looking the way it should, but I'm sure you can work out where the lines begin and end. Good luck with the assignment.

Oh thank you so much for uploading this song! I have been looking for it for years. I used to have an old Rolf Harris cassette of All Together Now and this song was on it. I can't find that version anywhere, but this is just as good as anything. Thank you.

You're welcome. Let's keep the old songs alive.

Yes, especially if they're Anti-Neurotypical -- and BTW, speaking of which, my dear Raymond, Guess what *I* have now? :)

Um - a guitar? A tin can? A Rolf Harris cassette? A picture of Snoopy? No, I give up? What do you have?

raymondcrooke 3 years ago

A Precious Tincan, I don't know where to find another so I can post it to you :)

Rolf Harris, ahh, the memories

Guitar? i've got a student one

My band plays this song exactly twice as fast (though it's probably not traditional, because every recording of a bush band playing this song I've heard was at the tempo you're doing it).

Many of these tunes are old Irish tunes, which is why they may be familiar to some in America. I always sing them round the campfire when we are out in the bush.

Isn't it a beutiful experience? The light of the fire, the not-so-subtle hum of the cicadas, the southern cross gazing down through the eucalypts!

and if we're not hiking- damper on a stick with sultanas! and most importantly, the guitar and harmonica accompanied singing.

More kids need to be doing this.

I know this to be true, however, I don't know how I picked up on these songs Mr Raymond sings. I just knwo that I had scores of lyrics frot hese melodies that I shall soon be actually singing in the original fashion (pounding on a tincan) for YOutube, I will think of you as I perform "Mayday" Which is about a battle between Earth and Dareth, which is the setting for the poems

Hope you get to see some of my stuff Ray

you got the strong voice there man

coomadoug 3 years ago

Thanks. I've had a look at your songs. Good to see original Australian songs. I look forward to hearing more.

raymondcrooke 3 years ago

I am always so pleased to hear anyone singing these songs - it keeps history alive, whether in our own homes or out and about. Good onya mate!

lamplightgirl 3 years ago

So am I, incidently enough, this became the melody for the song "Mayday" which I wrote the poem to at the age of 7

Serge165 3 years ago

Me too. As an Irish amercan, it's strange to hear this song. The melody is very familiar, but all the names and places are different. I love it!!!!!!!!!!1

st1ffyberg 3 years ago

Oh my dear Raymond, most of your traditional songs make me want to break out the Tincan and sing along...one problem, I'ts gone missing again :(

Serge165 3 years ago

I haven't heard this song in years...I first heard it on an LP by an American folk singer. Wonderful to hear it again, and your rendition is super! One thing...I recall there being one more verse at the end, something like "I'm off on the road again / on a prad (?) that's quite a goer / I'll get a job with the howling mob on the banks of the Morinoa." Am I remembering this right?
