Description
Johnny Lad is an Australian version of the classic sea song The Green Bed. I learned it from a recording of a lovely performance by Barry McDonald and Mark Rummery. It can be found here: https://youtu.be/ZdUG_mdJxRo
It was released on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in 1998 as part of an album titled: Australia: Music from the New England Tablelands of New South Wales, 1850–1900. The rest of the album is a cracker too...
