I have been singing Norman Brown for years, learnt from a tape which I guess was of the Larrikin record Joe mentions above. I did not know it was a Dorothy Hewett song, it rang so true to the times it concerns. A great piece of work indeed.

When I think of it I recall the words someone scratched into the roof of the alleged Ben Hall's cave in the Weddin Mountains.."God rest your soul Ben, the coppers were murdering bastards..and they still are".
