GUEST,Len Kennington	Origins: Early or pre-music hall song-Vagabond (8)	Origins: Early or pre-music hall song	26 Sep 20
The 1944 British film "Champagne Charlie" is a fictionalised rendition of the career of Victorian music hall star George Leybourne. Some of the songs are authentic, many are specially composed. One has got me foxed. The young George (Tommy Trinder) sings a mournful ditty "I'm a Vagabond" - I believe it to be a genuine parlour ballad of the 1860s or thereabouts. The Internet Movie Database credits the composer as Burley - but none of the standard musical databases - particularly the British Library - have it catalogued. Does anyone know of an early Vagabond song by Burley (or could it be Hurley or Burleigh or....)
