Notes 1 |
This song is about Tommy Campbell, a Gaelic singer from Hunter's Mountain who worked in the saw mill/lumber camp in Rear Christmas Island in the 1920s and is lamenting his departure upon the closure of the mill. |
Notes 2 |
Many young men who worked in the lumber camp would visit the houses of locals for a meal and to sing Gaelic songs. |
