Joseph Mathews worked with the Aboriginal elders from Australia at the Singapore ITI in 1969 to create this song.  These elders were a powerful mostly silent presence throughout the first two weeks of the ITI.

Work on the song with these elders was a very significant event at the ITI in which a new story for Aboriginal people in Australia for the future was being articulated.  Joseph was so delighted working with the elders edit after edit to get the story just right.

I know because I was re-typing draft after draft (no computers about) and
Joe was dancing around back and forth between the elders and the office.

A fond memory of that time.

This song (copied below) has been running through my mind for several days. The catchy tune makes it a kind of earwig. I’m wondering if anybody knows the backstory on the words, the tune, and most importantly, the context in which it was created.
