It's known as Australia's unofficial anthem.
"The song narrates the story of an itinerant worker, or "swagman",
making a drink of tea at a bush camp and capturing a sheep to eat. When
the sheep's owner arrives with three police officers to arrest the
worker for the theft, the worker commits suicide by drowning himself in
the nearby watering hole, after which his ghost haunts the site." From the Wikipedia
