Sandy Paton Origin: Happy Land (42) RE: Help: 'Happy Land' Variations 03 Mar 00


Robin Hall used to sing a Scottish gem:

There is a happy land
Doon in Duke Street Jail,
Where a' the convicts stand
Wi' their mops and pail.
Ham and eggs they'll never see,
Dirty water for their tea,
There they live in misery,
Doon in Duke Street Jail.

Same tune. I recorded it in a medley of kids' songs on my 1959 Elektra recording.

Sandy
