Gallus Moll and I obviously picked up the old tune from the same source and round about the same time. I and many other folk singers have been singing it for the last thirty odd years but obviously the Cast version being used in 'Sex in the City' has made it familiar to a wider audience.   Not quite sure why this seems to have offended Jack Campin but then his considerable historical knowledge, which he rarely seeks to conceal, does rather lead him to be a bit disparaging about anything that becomes popular!

The old tune is not that difficult to sing nor does it require a large degree of vocal training. I have taught it to infant classes and to senior citizens and they have managed it very well.

But what do I know?
