This is a thread intended for older, more traditional music. What is meant by "pre-1960s" is not by the date in which the musical piece was established, but instead the lyrics, instruments, and theme; what it is based on, so to speak.

Gary Shearston's "The Backblocks Shearer"—Australian folk song. One of me favourites!

Anyway it's the song I first thought of when I saw you were the OP. (song begins at 1:09)

It was a popular song around here, but maybe not in Australia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Edmund_Fitzgerald

Rather jovial, I must say!
