about

John Barr moved from his native Scotland to Otago in 1852 where he laboured hard to establish a living from the land for his new wife and children. His principal recreation during this time was the writing of songs and verse. The above song was published in 1860 and appears to be one of the earliest New Zealand songs to be published. Barr set the words to the traditional Scottish song ‘The Lea Rig’. A copy of Barr’s publication is held at the Dunedin Public Library.
