That's great - thanks.

I'm wondering how well known, or not, that 'Here we are in New South Wales' song is - I'm familiar with a rollicking rendition of a variant recorded by a band called Sons of Erin back in the '70s; that's the only recording of it I've heard before.

meself, that's Lime Juice Tub, pretty well-known in these parts, I think. The Bushwackers recorded it on the album, Bushfire. There are recordings by A L Lloyd and by Martyn Wyndham-Read. Youtube has recordings by Warren Fahey and by Gary Shearston and by Lionel Long and by Alex Hood and and and....

Which is quite well known in "folky" circles. There are at least three field collections, and it's in all the major folk song books of the last three-quarters of a century -- Stewart & Keesing, several of Ron Edwards's books, John Meredith's books, Manifold, Fahey. I don't find it in Paterson. It has fifteen entries in the Roud Index other than the Traditional Ballad Index entry.

when I was posting Fran's songsheets, I found a number of songs that didn't exist (if it's not on the WWW it doesn't exist!)

Now they do!
