Denis Gibbons - The Dying Stockman. (Australian Folk Music)

Throughout the fifties and sixties, one of Australia's leading interpreters of traditional Folk Music was Denis Gibbons.

Denis' fan base was probably largest in Victoria, but, Australia-wide, he gained a reputation as one of Australia's leading...and most authentic...folk singers.

This track is taken from an EP issued in the very early 60's by Melbourne's W&G Records, titled "Bush Songs", cat. # WG-E-1094.
The record is very well presented, with an Arthur Boyd painting on the front cover, and good background info for each track on the back.

This upload is from the original EP...and, I have uploaded all four tracks to YouTube.

One of the characters sings a couple of lines of this on 'Gallipoli' (tv series, Episode 4, 2015) just before they go over the top at 'the Nek'

Unfortunately, the only song derived from this that anyone in America heard was the humorous (and maybe mocking) song, "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport".
