I had my (first) wedding day 'knees-up at the Fighting Cocks pub in Kingston-on-Thames, and my wedding gift from Reg Hall was six 78 records, including Dan Wyper, Tony Capaldi and the Albert Richardson one of the thread title! This was in July 1970, and when I moved to Tyneside, used to sing it at various folk clubs up there.
I liked it so much that when I returned south in 1975 I carried on singing it in East Kent pubs*
near where I lived- must have been a bit confusing for the locals to hear it sung with a Geordie accent!
