I remember singing Waltzing Matilda in Girl Scouts. I wasn't aware of what it was really about, and I probably only heard the first few verses.

Thanks for the stamps and the link! I did not know the full story at all. Thanks for participating in Sunday Stamps.

A song the whole world must know, a nice idea. Like the concept of the ghost in the last one. Hope there are not too many hovering heads in the bush:-)
