The song appears in My Song Is My Own - 100 Women's Songs - Kathy Henderson with Frankie Armstrong and Sandra Kerr - as A Woman's Work.

The credits say: Another cockney music hall song. Words: Sue Pay, 1934; tune: Sandra Kerr, 1977.

There's no further information on the song. It's unclear if there was another tune with the words originally; since it's described as a music hall song, I would have thought so, but maybe the description wasn't exact. Perhaps SteveG has some information on the song.


Since the song there has a new tune by Sandra Kerr, there's no reason why you shouldn't use your own tune instead, but if you want Sandra Kerr's tune I can post it later.

Frankie Armstrong recorded it on And The Music Plays So Grand.
