I doubt if this is the song you are looking for "old Git", but just in case here it is. It was written for Rod Shearman and sung at the Memorial sing in The Barn at Towersey after the scattering of his ashes on the footpath from the campsite, in accordance with his last wishes

Sing No sad songs for me (For Rod Shearman)
(Tune White Dress by Swarbrick/ Mc Tell)

Sing no sad songs for me
Shed You no tears
Its not what I would want
If I were here
But say rude poems aloud
Drink pots of Beer
Sing no sad songs for me
Shed you no tears

Chorus   
Sing no sad songs for me
Live like tomorrow
Will Never be

Sing No sad songs for me
Shed you no tears
But Chat the girls for me
Admire their rears
smile at a homely girl
make her feel great
and Gather daisies
before its too late

Live every moment
as if It is your last
Love now and laugh much
Life is a blast
Reach out and touch the sky
Feel now the rain
You pass this way just once
And never again.

Chorus   
Time is a fleeting
And swiftly goes
Favouring no one
As a river flows
No time for regretting
Don't be so dull
Grab you the moment
live it to the full

When you are in the earth
There's time to rest
Too much regretting
Brings pains in your chest
Carpe Diem is our watch cry
We will be sensible... By and bye

Chorus   

Raise up no stones for me
Carve not my name
Scatter my ashes
Where I played the game
Here on a footpath
Where My friends go
Spilling a drink for me
Lying here below

Chorus
Sing no sad songs for me
Shed You no tears
Its not what I would want
If I were here
But but sing my songs aloud
Drink pots of Beer
But no sad songs for me
Shed you no tears
