Thank you littlewater, someone did give me a version on another forum, more or less the same 'Mah Maw said, Ah should go Wi mah faither's dinner -o Mince an totties stew an steak Wi'a wee bit currant cake Ah went tae the river, couldny get across Peyed ten bob fur an auld broken horse Ah jumped oan its back, its bones gave a crack Ah waited tae the boat came back The boat came back, we aw jumped in The boat capsized an we aw fell in Singin dont be weary try'n be cheery Jist play the fiddle till the boat comes back.' My dad then remembered his version had 'old blind horse' My dad (b.1935 in Glasgow) had it from his mother (b 1915 Glasgow, 1st gen Irish from Leinster) don't know if that helps with the dates Azizi! fx
