Jennifer,

Just out of interest, here is an Australian song to the tune of Marching through Georgia.

Helen

^^ IN THE GOLDEN GULLIES OF THE PALMER

Then roll the swag and blanket up, and let us haste away,
To the Golden Palmer, boys, where everyone they say,
Can get his ounce of gold, or it may be more, a day
In the Golden Gullies of the Palmer

CHORUS: Hurrah, hurrah, we'll sound the jubilee,
Hurrah, hurrah, and we will merry be,
When we reach the diggings boys, and there the nuggets see,
In the Golden Gullies of the Palmer

Kick at troubles when they come boys, the motto be for all,
And if you've missed the ladder in climbing Fortune's wall,
Depend upon it boys, you'll recover from the fall,
In the Golden Gullies of the Palmer

Then sound the chorus once again and give it with a roar,
And let its echoes ring boys, upon the sea and shore,
Until it reaches the mountains, where gold is in galore,
In the Golden Gullies of the Palmer
