For some reason, we learned the Australian folk song “Waltzing Matilda” in third grade music class.
Wikipedia has a great synopsis: “The song narrates the story of an itinerant worker, or ‘swagman’, making a drink of tea at a bush camp and capturing a sheep to eat. When the sheep’s owner arrives with three police officers to arrest the worker for the theft, the worker commits suicide by drowning himself in the nearby watering hole, after which his ghost haunts the site.”
I’m not sure how this made it into the Southfield Elementary curriculum. Or, for that matter, why I remember it.
