under the southern cross
This is a medley of traditional tunes I strung together with two commonalities - some of these tunes are from sea shanties while others are from traditional Australian songs.
And the catch… a couple of the tunes are found in both genres. That speaks volumes for how music travels around the world.
Tune: GsusC
The beginning tune is mine but here are the medley components:
South Australia
(shanty & Australian)
Ring the Bell Second Mate / Click Go the Shears
(same melody, different lyrics - shanty & Australian)
Waltzing Matilda
(alternate or ”Queensland” version - some call it the original.)
Leave Her Johnny
(pumping shanty)
