I've now got the words. Thanks to all who took part in this thread. I'm amazed at how quickly it all happened. Thanks particularly to Bob Bolton I now have both the words and the source of the song. Callie, I know Bill the man you speak of, he is Bill Arnett from Canberra and I saw him at the National Folk Festival over the Easter Weekend, will also get in touch with him.Thanks again to all of you.
Cheers
