Ah! Well, great! At least we have the 1884 newspaper article now.

GerryM--

Thanks! I knew someone would come up with something.

Rambling Rover, however, doesn't match the scansion. One can sing Wellerman, Cannibal Islands, Coast of NZ, Coast of Australia (and Paddy on the Railway, and *kind of* Golden Vanitee) all to the same tune, but not Rambling Rover. So, I should add that detail.
