Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Drover's Dream
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Drovers Dream
Australian (?) band Rossavielle sings The Drover's Dream on its album 'Very F. Tricky', but they use a tune totally different from the usual one - the one the Ian Campbell Group use, for instance. Also, they use a slightly different set of lyrics. There is one word I can't make out. Is there an animal called 'drongo' in Australia? The line as I understand it is 'The drongo and the crow sang us songs of long ago'. BTW, I prefer this version to the traditional one. - Susanne
