Hello Raymond I like this song well done lots of Hugs Kisses Love Gizmo xox

[hultonclint]

Hurrah! I imagined you'd have one or more songs that match this strain of song; thanks for the video response.

Truth be told, I think I like this Australian version better than the "original" in that the lyrics are more colourful and interesting.

[raymondcrooke]

Great to hear your version, which is new to me.

[sharpie443]

I thought that was an Irish song by the same name but with changed lyrics. Very good regardless.

[raymondcrooke]

It could well be. I think most Aussie songs are actually of Irish origin.

[rockyriver]

this song has never quite left my head since the '70's when it was used in the theme song to the tv series "rush." i loved the show and the song, but hadn't heard it again till last year at a 10 tenors concert. i was disappointed that it wasn't on their cd or video, but now thanks your fantastic rendition i've got it now for keeps. thanks so much!! really appreciated!
