Dug Origins: The Gum Tree Canoe (Steele/Winnemore) (71* d) RE: Lyrics: Gum Tree Canoe? 08 Mar 05

Thanks Bob. I too have the Eureka book. In it Fahey does not acknowledge any previous collections or version of the song. He just says "collected by Warren Fahey..."

I am put in mind of Denis Kevans' parody which was aimed squarely at Fahey:

I collect from all collectors with collections on the shelf
Collect from all collectors and collect em all meself,
with archie ive and kath alogue I really am au fahey
and I warrant I'll be richer when the grant's announced today...

Or am I being too harsh?
