Dear Sir or Madam, My Father was born in 1908 and told me (when I was a child) that there was a Fishmonger in Hull (Yorkshire, England) who used to push his barrow from street to street, singing the following song:-
"I'm a man that's done wrong to my parents, and daily I wander about, to earn a small mite, for my lodgings at night, God help me, for now I'm cast out. FISH - FRESH FISH."
I have just learned that this is the chorus line from the song "The Cast Out". Please could you tell me who wrote this song and when it was written. Thanking you in anticipation. Adrian Hanwell. a.hanwell@virgin.net
