4 Verses
Firstly See Judel 19 Aug 01 message above -

This version first verse is the same as Judel 19 Aug 01 version first full verse - no short intro.
This version 3rd verse is same as Judel 19 Aug 01 3rd verse.
Judel Alladin verse missing from this version - 2 addtl verses.

My data entry is my least talent, but I'll try - eventually...

There's a whole "Easy To Play" Series - 60 (including a Sampler, Swing, 20'-80's, Bluse, Boogie-Woogie, Folk, XMAS, R&B, Pub Songs...) listed on the back of this book.

Further down the thread

Jim McLean 16 Sep 02 version.

Mostly identical all 4 verses with this one in this book.

Still looking for additional verses, if known.


Best line seen so far
"I've been Fairy of the Wind, ay, an suffer from it still"
which seems to remind me of some other Mudcat Threads... :-)

I seem to remember that were some different verses in the other version I have somewhere...
