My mother used to sing that song to me. I can half remember the melody and very few of the words. Thanks to this posting, I'm nearer finding something that I thought I'd never come across again. So please, an MP3 would be most welcome.

With respect to the musing "This is a folk song?", this posting proves that it is has been handed down orally through the generations; just like a traditional folk song, but there the similarity ends. Anyway, distinctions and labels sometimes do get a bit blurred.
