Now, I
think this one can be used, copyright-wise, but some of the records are a little confusing. The Jack Moses version is based on an earlier poem, and the Moses version is, in some places, referred to as being published in the 1920s, and others in the 1930s, thought the latter references may be referring to the version set to music.
At any rate, the text below quotes the source as
"The North Queensland Register, 14 January 1924, p16", so maybe it's OK.

It may be unnecessary, but it cannot hurt to mention, that 'tucker' in the Australian parlance means 'food' ... something akin to the American 'grub'. The dog is guarding his master's food supply, you see.
