No. 6 in the Australian Lyrics author series.
Author's note: Note.--The plan of the above lyric was suggested by the old Scotch song with the first line of which it opens, but further than this line, and the terms laddie and lassie, the author has borrowed nothing (save the form), as may be seen by comparing the two pieces. A very imperfect copy of it found its way into a collection of songs published by Jones, of Bridge- street, some years ago, without any acknowledgment of the author. - C. H.
