Slim Dusty, AO MBE (born David Gordon Kirkpatrick; 13 June 1927 - 19 September 2003) was an Australian country music singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. He was an Australian cultural icon and one of the country's most awarded stars, with a career spanning nearly seven decades and numerous recordings. He was known to record songs in the legacy of Australia, particularly of bush life and renowned Australian bush poets Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson that represented the lifestyle. The music genre was coined the "bush ballad", a style first made popular by Buddy Williams, the first artist to perform the genre in Australia, and also for his many trucking songs.
Dusty was the first Australian to have a No. 1 international hit song, with a version of Gordon Parsons' "A Pub with No Beer". He received an unequalled 37 Golden Guitar and two Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and the Country Music Roll of Renown.

A hidden Gem
Are they Min Min lights? Lol.
I am from South Korea and I learned this song at school! It's awesome
Thats quite a surprise, why?
My grandpa sang me this song when I was a kid. He had been a sailor in US Merchant Marine in WWII and learned the song from some Aussie Diggers he had befriended in the Southwest Pacific in 1945. He grew up in Arizona and said the Aussies reminded him of people back home, so he got on with them quite well in Borneo.
they just don’t make music like this anymore 🤌😩❤️

In the words of he Austrayn diplomat Sir Les Patterson himself; "fakin beautiful!"
my 5th grade teacher, John McGlaughlin played for us this song one day in his classroom. He explained what the lyrics meant, although i don't remember a ton of what they were about. but i did remember the chorus note-for-note even though it's been since the early 90s since i've heard this song. i played it just now on a whim and it's precisely how i remember it 30 years ago. Now that's a memorable chorus!. RIP Mr McGlaughlin
When I was 7years old I was taught this song in my school Clarence High School in Bangalore India 60years later at the age of 67 I was blessed to come to Australia the land to the origin of this song Thank God and God bless Australia

The song is about a craftsman on his traditional journey (Waltz) for at least 3 years and 1 day. It is an old germanic tradition that is still practiced in german speaking Europe but got forgotten on the British isles, just the term "journeyman" stayed. This tradition is almost a1000 years old, where young craftsman , such as carpenters, joiners, Stone masons etc. Go on a journey after their 3 years of apprenticeship. For at least 3 years and 1 day they are not allowed to come closer to their homes than 30 miles. During this time, they have to travel to work and work to travel. No bus no train, just your feet and your thumbs. No phone and no contact to home. They have to wear the traditional garbs of their trait. The title of the song "Waltzing Matilda" is actually "Rottwelsch" the language of this traveling folk and means "wandering the roads" Matilda is the slang word for Road in Rottwelsch which is a mix between Yiddish, Gypsy language and old german thug slang. A saying under those journey man is "The journeyman love Matilda and Matilda loves the journeyman" This tradition was also practiced in Australia but got forgotten. Just this song is left. IF you want to learn more about it, here is a Video of a journeyman in english: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jH-h0qOfqanVqLQ.html
