Thread Name: Australian/American songs: similarities
Subject: RE: Australian/American songs: similarities
Oh..yes, of course...I have a fairly long song titled 'Botany Bay', which is to "Betsy from Pike" and which details all the sins, crimes, and anti-social eccentricities for which the 'singer/author' in England would have perpetrators deported to Botany Bay....it is different form all the other Botany Bay songs in the database. I got it at the Library of Congress about 20 years ago...will take the trouble to type it in soon...
