Subject: RE: An Australian Folk Song A Day: John Thompson
Gary Shearston sang a wonderful version of Wallaby Stew . I went something like this:
" Poor old Tim got umpteen years inside as everybody knows"
" For sucking on a stick of grass they give him denim clothes "
" He loved high on a mountain top but they picked up on his trail"
" And it's sad to relate the family fate since Tim got put in jail " etc
