http://bushtraditions.wiki/tunes/index.php/White_Cockatoo_(The)
From: “Stringybark & Greenhide”, Vol 5, No 4, P7S
Notes: Just for the record this is a straight version of “The Hopscotch Polka” from the 1950s. Stan, like most traditional players didn’t care where a tune came from, as long as it was a good one. The first part of this tune is derived from a Scottish tune called the ‘White Cockade’ from 1802 – Dave de Hugard –
