G'day freda,
Slim certainly set a number of Lawson's poems to tunes. Chris Kempster's The Songs of Henry Lawson, Viking O'Neil / Penguin Books Australia Ltd, 1989 has 18 different Lawson songs includes set by Slim ... but not The Water Lily.
That's not to say that Slim did not set a version of that one ... but I don't know of it.
