I'm emailing a gold star to you, Joe.

I've had to explain to friends that Mudcat is not "inaccurate", that lyrics depend on the poster, some folks post what they remember & others find an original source. Check the source of the words.

When I've posted lyrics from Mudcat to the John Dengate Collection I name the poster & the date & time to get the version I want.

When I posted one of John's songs on the Mudcat Australian songbook, I went back to the original publication in 1982, which is different to the version he (& we!) sang this century. His wife & his oldest mate remembered different versions of one line from when it was new, but he was known to not sing the rude word with some audiences & to change other lines if appropriate!
