'The Little Shirt my Mother Made for Me' was written by Harry Wincott but, for some reason, it seems to be untraceable in the BL music catalogue and Kilgarriff's monumental reference book gives very few details. It was, in fact, published in 1905.

It was sung by the music hall artiste Tom Woottwell and recorded by him on an Edison cylinder in 1907 and on a single-sided Columbia disc (which I have) in July 1908. A lovely performance with the splendid opening:

'I'll never forget the day that I was born..'

More about Woottwell in Tony Barker's 'Music Hall' magazine, No.17, 1981, still available from him. See his 'Music Hall Magazine' website (can'tdo the clicky thing, but Google will find it).
