This song is on the LP: Pete Stanley And Roger Knowles - Picking And Singing. It goes by the alternative name of "Boys Stay Away From The Girls"

My father had this LP copied onto an old reel-to-reel tape. When I was a young child of no more than 4 or 5 years of age, I often had my father play me this tape when I went to bed at night. "Boys Stay Away From The Girls" was always my favourite song. Indeed the whole album has always had significant sentimental importance to me.

I recently purchased my own copy of this album from ebay. Its label number is XTRA 1146, for anyone that is interested in looking for it. It appears on ebay from time to time.

A description of the song, on the sleeve of the album is as follows:

"An old time cautionary song with ragtime overtones, telling of the perils of matrimony"
