Thread Name: Lyr Req: He's Been a Long Time Gorn (R. P. Weston)
Subject: RE: Music Hall Song - long time gone for the wood
Ray Padgett (Barnsley) collected a version.
It's not very old.(1904) I have the sheet music somewhere. It's in Francis Day and Hunter's Album of Famous Old Songs Vol2
Kilgarriff gives its proper title as 'He's been a long time gorn'
Written and composed by Robert P Weston 1878-1936 sung by Stewart Morton
