Mudcatter Joybell has recorded this song, and a lovely version it is too.

Out of interest - in the early 19th century, while living in New South Wales, young woman named Annabella Boswell kept a diary which was finally published in 1965. The entry for 15th February 1848 quotes lines from this song: "Who will fill their vacant places, who will sing their songs tonight?" Two young men had been staying with Annabella's family and she wrote this in her diary the day they left. At the time she was living at Lake Innes just south of Port Macquarie, several hours north of Sydney.

So the song was known in colonial Australia - in New South Wales at least!
