Wonderful! I posted the first verse some years ago (at the bottom of the post), or what I remembered of it. As I said then, no idea where it came from originally, but as small kids we often got my Dad to sing these songs. I wish I'd taken more notice of his songs before he died (getting on for 40 years ago now). His rendering of Cardigan the Fearless (with his famous Light Brigade), full of chromatic runs and rubato should have been recorded.
