The original version of this song was sung to the tune of "William Brown" - "keep that wheel a turning....." written by my father, Alan Todd. Alan started (or was instrumental in)the Hartlepool Folk Club at the Nursery Inn on Sunday evening's. The club had some great people like Graham Whitley as floor singers and also put on some great turns such as The Northern Front - Mike Elliott, Nick Fenwick and Eddie Pickford. Some great nights were had! Other songs Alan was noted for are "The Seacoal Warrior" and his signature " Hartlepool Monkey Song"
