When I first heard the song I thought it was a new song. I thought the tune was new and only written by Lonnie Donegan in 1960, but I was wrong. The tune goes back to 1922; I found out that j p long also wrote the words the tune goes back to 1887 which is so hard to believe. I am hopeng to perform this song from 1960 because most people will know those words. My cousin Ian is singing the song with me. I hope it goes well and I could make a list of pop songs only written in the 50s and 60s that came from the 19th century.
