A follow-up to my own comment on Phil Garland and Bert Lloyd-esque productions. Since people have been pointing out that parts of "Wellerman" look like mash-ups of folk lines, consider Garland's "Banks of the Waikato." It's "Banks of the Condamine," or at least one of those "Men's Clothing I'll Put On" type songs, rewritten for a New Zealand context and with Garland's own tune. Garland admitted to that one. But who says he admitted to all such things?

I should also note that Garland wrote only the tune, not the words, to "The Stable Lad." But he saw the potential in Peter Cape's lyrics and made it the great song it is.
