When A Boy From Alabama Meets A Girl From Gundagai

When A Boy From Alabama Meets A Girl From Gundagai - Joy Nichols

[jackohagan]

This was a wartime song written in 1942 by Jack O'Hagan. Australia was full of American soldiers at the time and our local girls were enamoured with them. Many of the local lads were off fighting in WWII.

Crikey...!  So that's why we had to shift the Dog on the Tuckerbox from the Five Mile...!

Oh there's a ton of songs like this one.

Not sure about the boy being from Alabama, but they got the girl part right! :)
