dunno whether I want to watch the mass slaughter of birds!

The song was sung by an unaccompanied singer with an English/Australian repertoire. I had thought it was more likely an English song, but just found this article. Punt guns, picks and paintings among the historical oddities of Ballarat Town Hall - OMG! check out the pic of the gun

When I was posting early songs collected in Australia on the Bush Music Club Blog - Fran Shaw's songsheets - 4 articles - Part 1 - 1956-57 - some didn't "exist" until I posted them, it looks like this song doesn't exist, either.   

But maybe someone, somewhere, remembers someone singing it in the early days.
