here's one..."Tuapeka Gold"...'The day I left Dunedin I could not help but cry /
For not one single person came to bid myself goodbye'. Says the Phil Garland website about this song: "This song proved popular and was printed in the United Nations Songbook during the 1970s. It was recorded by some others and used in English teaching courses at German and Japanese universities."
Another old folk number that commemorates the weather ... "Bright Fine Gold" ... 'I'm weary of Otago / I'm weary of the snow / Let my man strike it rich / And then we'll go.'
there's the council song "It's all right here", which I think was sung by aucklanders. If you ask TVNZ or the DCC, they can send you the video, it's particularly rousing.
Or, southern man, I thinkt hat was the Speight's song - I'm a southern man/And I'm Southern bred/I got the South in my blood/And I'll be here till I'm damn well dead.
I know this is no use to you now, but I really wanted to use this to grandstand for the Otago rugby team, who are going to slay Canterbury this weekend, all things going right.
