These are lyrics to a folk song nearly 200 years old and are public domain

Article on song Moreton Bay not acceptable in its present form

This article quotes no sources (academic or otherwise) to support any of its statements about the origins or date of this folk song, and doesn't provide a justification for its particular version of the lyrics. It should be revised to conform to Wikipedia standards. Quidamo (talk) 19:03, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. I have replaced the arbitrary version with that which appears in print in Robert Hughes's The Fatal Shore (though I hope a better, earlier source will emerge in due course). I have also added a refs section. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 06:21, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
