Subject: RE: Waltzing Matilda
Great to have Mr. Pete Coe himself put the record straight on his fine song, always a winner at a singaround.

For future reference it would be useful if it could be placed in a thread with a more obviously relevant title.

It has the unusual distinction for a credited song, that it appears twice in the DT under different titles. One version is given with 'I can not stand the parish queue' instead of the superior 'I've long endured....' and 'salvation or danger' instead of 'starvation and danger'

all in a scarlet uniform,
