MRS LORNA CORBETT Cherrywood Nursing Home Turramurra Feb. 1985 SITE SOURCE: Folklore Unit - People KANGAROO YARRAWONGAA digger was a soldier that sailed across the sea, in the good ship 'Margarine'A digger was a soldier as brave as he could be, And a grand old man he made, in the landing at Gallipoli, When the war clouds filled the skies, He wandered round the Continent as a tourist in disguise, And after years of battle-ing and three parts filled with lead. The medical officer said, 'we'll send you back' It was then the digger said - I'm going back to Yarrawonga, in Yarrawonga, I'll linger longer, I'm going again to Yarrawonga, where the skies are always blue, And when back again in Yarrawonga, I'll soon be stronger than Old Mahonga You can have all your Tennessee's and Caroline's, France and Belgium thrown in You can have the lot for mine. I'm going back again to Yarrawonga, In the land of the kangaroo. |
