G'day Magdalena .. and DonMeixner,

I don't think that it is Reedy River ... Chris Kempster's ~ 1950 tune setting for Henry Lawson's poem.

This tells of the couple "selecting" a free-holding on Reedy River and then:

"... I cleared the land and fenced it,
and ploughed the rich red loam
And my first crops were golden
When I brought Mary home".

Mary (rather than Molly) dies and the song continues:

"... The sad bright day has ended
And twisted branches wave
And wattle blossoms golden
On the hill by Mary's grave"

It's a beautiful song (and quite important to the beginnings of the folk revival in Australia in the 1950s) but I'm not sure it fits with Magdalena's request.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
