Australian folk song - traditional/Banjo Patterson |

Commonly thought of as a song written by Andrew Barton (Banjo) Patterson, certainly found in his collection along with many other songs, this song was also collected and thought to be a favourite of all the 'old hands' among the bushworkers of early 20th century Australia. | ||
| Also commonly known as 'Travelling Down the Castlereigh' or 'A Bushman's Song'. | |||
| Banjo Patterson while known to take casual work on sheep stations in rural Australia was highly educated and also a war correspondent and at one time the editor of the Sydney Morning Herald. | |||
