Thank you all for contributing. This was my first visit to the site and I'm totally amazed at the resource.

I first heard this song around 1969 and it was being performed by a group around the Darlington area, the Candlelighters I think. Anyone know anything about them?

I know realise it was the chorus I was singing so if anyone can help with the tune for the verse I'd be very grateful. I'll probably inflict my local club with it on Friday...........
