Iain - your choice of verse is, as ever, impeccable. This song is very important to us. Thank you for this.Tom - ANZAC day -
'When I was a young man I carried my pack
And I lived the free life of a rover
From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback
I waltzed my matilda all over
Then in nineteen fifteen my country said son
It's time to stop rambling 'cause there's work to be
Done
So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
And they sent me away to the war
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As we sailed away from the quay
And amidst all the tears and the shouts and the
Cheers
We sailed off to Gallipoli.'
excerpt from - Eric Bogle - 'And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda.'
Yours - I.
