Its beauty lies in its simplicity. I think I must have sung it in primary school and had almost forgotten it when I picked up a copy of the Bayley book mentioned above, then by some strange quirk of fate we got a new phone about 5 years ago and guess what was the ringtone! So I hear it at least 4 times a day! And I'm not tired of it yet.

BTW didn't one of Lesley Sarony's have a similar tune 'Oh How she cried'?
