Shame is that most people only hear the Americanised marching band
version of that song. What's known as the Queensland version has a
nicer melody.
For those unaware of this, you can probably find examples on YouTube.
The Seekers used to sing Waltzing Matilda the Queensland way, back in
the 1960s, but later did the American version.
I remember a version from my youth (many decades ago) which was
certainly not a marching band. It might have been The Seekers.
