Charlie, I thought it was recorded on one of the Folkways 'New Britain Gazette' albums, but I could be wrong - I'll dig them out when I wake up. I certainly heard him sing it, but it could have been at the Singers Club. He re-used the tune and the form for 'Saturday Morning in Angel Lane' which was written for the mini-radio ballad for schools, 'Romeo and Juliet' which was set in London's East End. Thanks for the reminder. Jim Carroll PS Nice picture of my native Liverpool
