GUEST,Michael McNamara	ADD: The Baby's Name (Murphy/Hall) (76* d)	RE: Req/ADD: The Baby's Name (Boer War song)	03 May 10
In he early 60s I wrote to the Daily Mirror to see whether any of their readers knew the words as they were exasperating me in their elusiveness. I had a brilliant response, mainly from elderly ladies, all with slightly different versions but a core of similarity. For some reason the song has an attraction beyond its politics. I am trying to find out more of its background but with little sucess (even wikipedia has let me down) any clues?
