Just to elaborate a little more on what Bob Bolton wrote A.B.Patterson did write the words to Waltzing Matilda in 1895 but he never copyrighted them and appartently all over Australia and probably other places this was sang,but I don't believe was ever put on a record.In 1936 Marie Cowan put this tune to music and also put it on a record and she did give A.B Patterson credit for writing it,but she changed all the word and in reality made a different tune and her husband did copyright this tune and sell it to an american company.I do have the words that Marie Cowan put to music,but as i said they are completely different from the original.Louie Roy
