Location: Rothmans Junior School, Great Baddow, near Chelmsford in the County of Essex, England. Approximate Date: Easter Term 1961. Event: Morning All School Assembly and In Class Singing. We boys and girls would all sing this song with great gusto, although I must confess to never having learnt all the lyrics correctly, so thank you for the contrubtion(s) - at last the song makes sense!!!!!!!
Another song we used to sing was 'Early One Morning Just As the Sun Was Rising ....' an old English folk song, the lyrics of which I have since forgotten. Ah, childhood memories! Thanks for taking me back!
