love the accent!
-
I'm not certain, but this sounds a lot like Tim Holt. Anyone know for sure?
-
Love it.
-
Jack Donahue > the fake version.
-
Unknown origins but the Aussie version suggests he was always in Australia (though the folk-style hints at the composer being an irish immigrant at least)
Irish version talks of a boy born in ireland who leaves for Ausrtalia etc etc :)
-
BTW, this is not an irish song.. not at all. Its Australian
-
Who sings the great song? do you know the origin of this song?
-
even this version has "mockingbird" --native to the Western hemisphere but not Australia. must be an Irishman who didn't spend much time in Oz. ;-)
-
One of my fav songs of all time,iam an irish man who lived in oz for two years,i loved the place and people!!!! Ozzies are so like the irish in personality its hard to beleave:)

Thanks for that and yes, I felt it was important to see where this song originated, it is a very beautiful area, and a great song as well.
