G'day again,

As I dragged out the assorted Eric Bogle sonbooks, I just noticed that the original(1980) book has a different ending to the fourth stanza:

" ...
Those lazy migrant bastards do, they ever bloody work!
For there's plenty of jobs goin', though I've not worked since school
May be a bloody racist pig, but I'm no bloody fool!"

Maybe Eric decided that he could be a little more ironic!

REgards,

Bob Bolton
