Annotation

"Also known as Waiting for the Rain, John Meredith collected a version of it from wharfie Leo Dixon, who had been a bush worker and shearer and was born at Eugowra. Meredith writes: "The words of this were written by John Neilson of Penola, a bush worker, farmer, and balladist, and the father of Australia's greatest lyricist, John Shaw Neilson". The last verse in this version was sent me by email and comes from Dave de Hugard's record Freedom on the Wallaby. The tune is the North American song Little Log Cabin in the Dell (1875)." (see also wikipedia ref for "The Little Old Log Cabin In The Lane" (1871))
