Charles Tree (an Exmouth man!) recorded this song on 28 August 1912, disc issued on HMV 4-2268 -- I've had the copy I bought in Exeter since 1961 (half its 98 years lifetime :) Interestingly the words are very slightly different from the last version above, and I think I'd like to see the original published music to be sure what's going on there! The fact that there are such variations around suggests remembered versions -- which might of course also suggest versions pre-Trythall. The publication of the song and its recording in the same year is rather fun, all the same. It is indeed a very catchy tune -- luckily it's also a good one. Peter
