cobber Top Ten Old Ballads (40) RE: Top Ten Old Ballads 04 Jan 04

Australia has a great ballad tradition that continues to this day with writers like Judy Small and Eric Bogle. One of the oldest is Morton Bay, sung to the tune Boulavogue which tells how convicts were treated in one of the harshest penal colonies but eventually saw their main tormentor slain by aborigines. It's a great song.
