G'day,
This might be a New Zealand song, possibly called "By The Dry Cardrona". I have a recording somewhere, with luck I might even be able to understand the words.

Cheers,
Alan

Alan Thanks for your interest and your song title has jogged my memory. The chorus is:- I will go where the cherries grow, By the dry Cardrona I will go where the cherries grow, On a day when I am sober, On a day when i am sober.

(Whats a Dry Cardrona) Cheers Paul

I'll post the text as it was recorded for Folk-Legacy by Ed Trickett (People Like You - FSI-92) on a new "LYR:ADD" thread.
