oh a great one that I was trying to remember for our cattle/sheep song workshop at SingTime Frolics...

it may or may not be called the Drover's Sweetheart...by Henry Lawson, tune I believe by Priscilla Herdman....

here are some fragments...

....dusty cows..

beneath the ....dome For there was one I loved the best who'd bring the cattle home...

the flood is in the Darling now and footrot in the flock

....he tucked the remnant down

...his luck was always bad instead of making more he lost the money that he had and how he'll manage heaven knows my eyes are growing dim he says he says he don't suppose I'd want to marry him

as if I wouldn't take his hand without the golden glove Oh Jack you men don't understand howmuch a girl can love I long to se e him yet again Jack's dog thank God it's Jack I never thought I'd faint before he's coming down the track...

....

doubles as an absolutely wonderful love song..
