Dianne Charlie Chaplin (1) Charlie Chaplin - Who Will Buy My Pretty Violets 13 Dec 98

Hi Everyone,

I have been going crazy trying to find the title and any further info on a song. A few years ago, a BBC production about Charlie Chaplin (called "Charlie" I believe) showed some silent film of his where he meets a blind girl selling flowers on a sidewalk (and Charlie pays for her operation).

Anyway, the song that was used in that clip has haunted me ever since. I like it very much and want to know more about the song, including further lyrics, tune, etc. I have made a small midi song that represents the whole tune, I think. A friend suggested that the title could be "Who Will Buy My Pretty Violets". Could you or anyone you know find out for me? Thanks,

Diane
