...adapted from Libba Cotton's original, of course. Pete (Steve Benbow's Protege)is in touch with Chas McDevitt & may be able to add more about his version - I've just had a quick flick through his (Chas')book (called "Skiffle" of course) and can't see any history of their version- he did call a later incarnation of his group the Freight Train Boys and mentions a copyright dispute over the song (and claims Nancy Whiskey left the group declaring she hated skiffle).
