Thread Name: Andy's Gone With Cattle
Subject: RE: Andy's Gone With Cattle
There are a ton of recordings of the Henry Lawson Poem "Ändy's Gone With Cattle"
Its proberly one of the most recorded poems of Henry Lawson because its simple to put to music.
Lawson re-wrote the poem a number of times, with Ruddick books on Henry Lawson listing most of the variations.
These is a second poem by Henry Lawson as a follow up called "Andy's Return", which has been also recorded by a lot of Artists.
I do have copies of all the variations to "Ändy's Gone With Cattle" as published by Ruddick, but to find it, I'll have to dig the book out of the back of the caravan.
