Is that the song which is also referred to as "Gentle Annie"? If it is, then there is a great version sung by Martin Wyndham-Reed on his album Emu Plains on Fellside (which has Nic Jones playing fiddle on it)
It has the line "Your mutton's very sweet Gentle Annie and I'm sure it can't be packed in New South Wales" which may be reference to the land act of 1890 which prevented movement of cattle from state to state.
Vin Garbut has also recorded it and I'm sure I've heard Hamish Imlach do it.
It was pretty popular in the UK folk clubs in the early eighties.
If it's a different song then, my apologies. I'll go back to sleep and dream of a golden age.
