    (continued from previous page)
    The above song was composed by Michael O'Dalton the hedge school-master when serving penal-servitude in Van Dieman's Land, and found its way into this district by some unknown channel, probably by some person who was either liberated or escaped.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
