Thread Name: Lyr Req: Drunk Driver/Wild Rover
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Drunk Driver/Wild Rover
G'day,

This thread must have started just after I departed for the office Christmas Party - thence to a 10-day break.

I know of a parody of Wild Rover called Wild Driver written by the late Janet (Sheila) Wakefield when she was secretary of the Bush Music Club, in Sydney in the 1960s. She wrote it after getting a lift home from one of our less able (or more adventurous) drivers. I don't think she actually accuses the driver of being drunk, but some scary things happen.

I will check my records (including Singabout - Reprints, which I edited and published in 1985) and get back with these words - which may or may not be those requested by Gary T. (And if it is the Gary T I suspect ... he can ring me direct.)

Regards,

Bob Bolton
