me&my friend in music class belting this out when we listen to it:')<3

[GaladedridDamodred]

This song was always vaguely worried me. Hello, Atropos...

[just2draw]

This isn't the 'genuine' version. It's missing a verse and has been altered to make it more 'general audience'. It also uses the wrong terms (ie, it's bare-bellied yoe, not Joe or Joel).

[richgorb]

when i was in infants schoolin 1960we had an aussie teacher and she taught us all these trad aussie songs ,they are still with me great

[arsenalnumber12]

Does anyone one know who created this video ??? I am interested to know as i we have realised that my partner and his father, who is no longer with us, is in the video. Also Thier property is shown on here as well. Just wondering who created this ? It's very good.

[verticalsmurf]

I love you Rolf, but I'm from shearing stock, and from my part of the country, 'He curses the old snagger with the bare bellied joe.'

[thehippymusic]

honestly how is this song iconicly australian

we arent the only country that does sheep shearing

fucking cockbrain

[flingding123]

we're the only ones that sing songs about them

[verticalsmurf]

Research mate. Wool was the first and most profitable industry in Australia for quite a while, hence the term 'riding on the sheeps back'.

Research mate, coloquilisms always originated somewhere.

[landrew679]

Rolf at his best i love it

[sebbrown1]

A patriotic song, should be sung in all schools, but probably won't due to australia being too PC these days.

[Priceless21]

LOL I am teaching it to my class for a concert and found I had to censor 3 verses! Even this version is tweaked and chopped around. LOL. But then who knows how many verses were added here and there.

[littleprincessxxxxx]

we're doing this song in school for our state exams!

[Spencer27795]

samee!!!!

[Davobeff]

[Davobeff]

[hannahXxX8]

[MTCatman]

Great pics to go with the song, thanks!

[weasel73]

what a legend of a song, remember having to sing this song, along with "Bound for Botany Bay" in primary school 30 years ago! Love hearing these old Aussie folk songs. thanx for posting, your a fair dinkum legend.

[TassieExPat]

RIPPER!

[quietgal317]

haha im studyin this song in school for my jc!

[Danteklfg]

I really like Rolf and always have. The world will be a sadder place when he goes. But for me, I think he would be just so much better if cuts the narrative in middle of his songs which he oftens seems to do. That would make him so much better.

[thinktok]

Well done, not only is the song nice, the accompanying pictures is very entertaining and educational.

Thanks for posting.

[brucecow]

As a kid in 1964 living in Singapore, they used to show a clip in between programmes, of an Australian guy playing a guitar while singing this. All around his feet were lambs and a dog. Brings back memories. Thanks for posting this.

[friends1994to2004]

[13elessar13]

I remember this from my childhood! aww brings back memories...

[crickey33]

[CrazyCakey]

i knew this song first when I listened to a story that involved this song!

[Bis1964]

Great song. My 3 yr old loves the refrain. Click, Click, Click......

[Divo910]

i got the band 2 play this song at my wedding and my wife left me 2 days later because of it. damn this song to hell

[Treemeadow]

then she wasn't worth it, to be so petty about things you like.

if your story is even true, that is.

[Divo910]

i wish i never heard this damn song now its cost me my prized bird

[ungamedplayer]

If it wasn't this, it'd be something else.

At least you learned it now, rather than later.

[Luzielou]

A real good Aussie song! It´s perfect and very enjoyable.

[wasdaleno1]

[shenanigan20]

Lol I had to sing this in my choir... Reminds me of the good times at school. 

This is a classic!

[AZ8MX42G6]

Another absolutely classic esoteric composition from Rolf Harris. Yes, one has to be "initiated" to understand the man, but he is a genius beyond belief. This featured in ITV's "Heartbeat" 02/12/2007. Glad I found it; Rolf is unparalelled entertainment. Thank you mrtibbs6912.
