I wouldn't have `Swannie Ribber, or `Home, Sweet Home, or `Annie Laurie, or any of those old songs sung at the Lost Souls' Hotel they're the cause of more heartbreaks and drink and suicide in the bush than anything else.

Then she'd sit down to a little harmonium he'd bought her and play and sing "Barney, take me Home again," and "The Old Folks at Home," and "Swannie Ribber," till I felt like hanging myself and I wasn't an exile. Sometimes Johnson would flare up and there'd be a row and he'd go to the pub. Gentle persuasion, argument, or swearing, it was all the same with her.
