Subject: RE: Tune Add: Jemima Brown (by Harry Clifton)
Just checked the lyrics back and found very very close to WPs version

Cremorne shown as Creamery in WPs version

"babylinen builders" presumably sewing factory where nappies or somesuch clothing was sewn?

The singer/teller of the tale was totally taken in by Naughty jemima Brown even to the extent that he would visit here buying babies clothing (for the bottom drawer as we would say)

£50 would have been a fortune in those days too

Ray

I will check the tune in a bit!!
