Hello there,

I've been wondering about this song, How can the Jolly Swagman be Jolly and yet at the end of the song he kills himself, I mean if anyone kills themseleves, they're not Jolly are they?
So the song is about a suicidal swagman who is Jolly.
The song just doesn't make sense does it.
I'm not worried about the song, I'm just courious about it that's all and I just hope that someone out there can explain it to me.

P.S.
The song Abigail which goes like:-
on the bosom of young Abigail
was written the price of her tail
and upon her behind for the use of the blind
was the same information in Braille.
Could some please tell what that song is all about
I have a far idea.
Tom
And this is not a joke
