Sometime in the early 1960's I collected a version of this from an elderly man in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. He told me what a popular tune it had been at dances in his youth. I recorded him singing it on a 12inch reel to reel machine, along with several other recordings made in the Notts/Derbys area. Shortly after doing this I loaned the tape to someone who was 'Very intersted in folk music.' When it came back his kids had recorded pop music over the top of it. A hard lesson. All I remember about my informants version is that it began 'Some like a game of croquet.' He had a couple of music hall songs, one of which concerned a bloke who courted a girl in the rain. When their child was born it had an umbrella birth mark. I also remember the fine tea his wife laid out for my visit. Burl
