The song was written by Iain McCarthy, Dublin in or around '63 or '64.

Iain gave the song to Dave Smyth, Dublin (then medical photographer and one of the founders of the Coffee Kitchen tradition club - roughly as per a previous post - also former member of The Press Gang).

At that time Dave was in a group with Pearse McAuliffe and Derrig Monks called "The Buskers". They recorded the song in "65 and I will send a link to the track soon.

Signed

Stuart Smyth (son of David)
