Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Gum Tree Canoe
Bob, thanks for posting those lyrics. There's a word missing at the end of the third line of the next-to-last stanza, "Where he'll prance and he'll snort all alone in his". "Tree" would scan and rhyme and be grammatically correct, but I don't think you'd find a wild horse prancing in one, not even in Australia. "Glee", maybe?
