Thread Name: Tune Req: On the Road to Brighton
Subject: RE: Tune Req: On the Road to Brighton
The song refers to Brighton, Pennsylvania, U.S. and was an vaudeville song about a horse-race - the tune came with it and in England was re-written to become 'Blaydon Races' - but don't tell Newcastle!

I'll get me coat.
