Can anyone shed any light on the original song. Sorry if this is common knowledge, couldn't find anything on it. |

Among earlier discussions, these two probably contain most on the development of the tune: Tune Req: Thou Bonnie Wood of Craigielee Craigielee/Waltzing Matilda |

From your response it appears you *DID* search - but "search and ye shall find" unfortunately doesn't always apply. It is nice to know that people try rather then just come in expecting someone else to search for them. |
