I listened to this song on a Dubliners "best of "album my dad has. Good song. Understatement probably, but it is great. BTW, "Mack The Knife" from The Threepenny Opera is one of my favourite songs, and I listened to WITJ because of the possible connection. I like that possible but unlikely connection between these two songs- that this was the inspiration for the betrayal scene in Beggar's Opera/Threepenny Opera).
