Making the folk songs contemporary (and high quality recording) will hopefully make them popular with the yute dem.

Wow! Sometimes better not to know the literal meaning.

Here I thought that Waltzing Matilda was about a pretty girl who likes to dance, only to find out that it's about a dutty bum who teef sheep!!! </div></div>
Magix, you reminded me of a radiology resident I knew back in the early 1980s... I was assigned to fluoroscopy that week - mornings full of Upper GI and Barium Enema studies. I was cleaning up the xray table after a BE, and to make th job a bit lss of an awful chore, I began to sing. Dunno why I chose &quot;Waltzing Mathilda&quot; that day... but I did. This new Aussie resident - whom I hadn't yet met or heard of - heard his native song and followed the sound to my room, and there he found me, cleaning up from the BE. Long odd story shorter (but no less odd) - I dated that Aussie for a year. dwl
You just remind me of him, Magix. He's back in Sydney, has been for decades.

Re: Cudelia Brown- second verse meaning

Just to get back to the topic of the thread...

I've never hard Cudlia Brown. Anybody who can write the music down on musical manuscript paper so I can read it?

Re: Cudelia Brown- second verse meaning

Is this the time to admit that I'm interested in mento/folk songs because I like to sing them?

Well I'm about as far away from Australian as you can get. That goes for mindset, obeying rules and drinking. It is a nice country though. Perth, Brizzy, and Sydney are very nice. Not a big fan of Mel-bin thou.

The reason I heard of Waltzing Matilda in the first place, because the coast-out waypoints on the airways west of Oz, if you read them north to south, spell out the first verse of that song. Someone in their civil aviation authority was clever.

Re: Cudelia Brown- second verse meaning

bump. Anyone who knows this song have a clue what (other than a moonlit night) that second verse is referring to? Does this song (as &quot;Cudelia Brown&quot only ever have two verses or do other CB versions exist with more? What's &quot;Jamaica flop&quot;, for example?

Re: Cudelia Brown- second verse meaning

Do you want someone here to &quot;invent&quot; an alternative meaning and post it here for you ? That can be arranged

I didn't mean YOU YOURSELF reminded me of the man. I meant that your post rminded me of the situation and the man. Seen?

The radiologist now lives in Melbourne. (dwl) From time to time I hear from him, or call him to chat. I almost ended up as his bride... that would have changed my entire life - to have become an Aussie. (Australia is heaving one big collective sigh of relief. dwl)

No, I meant <span style="font-style: italic">does that term mean anything, or is it just nonsense? </span> It could be- some folk songs (in general, not referring to any specific national tradition) are nonsense.

So, can anyone tell me what that verse (in full) refers to?
