I had totally forgotten this song (which was a big 'hit' when I was about eight or nine years old) until , of all people, Martin Carthy chose to have it played on a radio 2 'Folk on two' programme several years ago. The whole programme was devoted to Carthy and his career and I think it was his example of the sort of stuff he heard on the 'wireless' as a child. I've been one of Martin's biggest fans since the mid sixties but have never forgiven him for re-awakening my memory of that song - and it'll never go away!
