Thread Name: Origins: There Was a Bold Fisherman (Bogart??)
Subject: Bold Fisherman:Leybourne-Cox or Bogart?
I noticed in Kilgarriff's excellent guide to popular song that the great Victorian music hall star George Leybourne, famous for Champagne Charlie, is listed as also performing The Bold Fisherman.Being curious as to whether this is the same song as collected from Harry Cox I looked in the DT and discovered that the DT contains another Bold Fisherman song; one briefly performed by Humphrey Bogart at the end of The African Queen.Does anyone know if George Leybourne sang either of these songs or if it was yet another Bold Fisherman?
