cheers pavane,i googled it and it was on a martin carthy album 'because its there'.i'm somwetimes dubious of songs that are not more widely sung as it can often mean that it may have been unearthed from a traditional source but not particu;arly a good sopng.thanks for the humorous songs but for now i;m concentrating on traditional london folk songs as i hope that may be a big enough task.
i was thimking of perhaps even creating a chart of most popular london songs.
