I've just had a flash (Yes, judge I know I said I'd stop) of inspiration or a light through the mists of CRS: wasn't this used as the theme in a UK film, light Ealing-comedy style thing with John & Juliet Mills who I think sang it off screen?
I still can't remember the verses but I think it was all "Yes, my darling daughter" as the courtship progressed till the end when it was "No!". Innocent days before "Wham, Bam, thank you mam".
