Glad you managed to clear that up Barbara - I can't claim to know the words myself, I just found them on another thread. Strangely enough when I read them through I didn't think that the last verse sounded quite like the words that I remembered Ern Keast singing last weekend. I don't know his source, but knowing the family background I would assume with some certainty that it must be the same as yours!! Can't say that I've found it over sentimental on the few occasions I've heard him sing it, and I can understand why you love it!!
