To Richard from Liverpool, Ian Hendry and others.
Many thanks for your comments re this song. NB my technophobia. When I get to some electricity and 13 year old grandson, I may be able to reply. Unfortunately rarely in Nowich these days.
Good to hear of Stan Kelly. I may well have heard him sing the song in London where I would always see him if I could. Is he still alive? He must be even older than me.
If I knew how to register with Mudcat, I would! It seems an excellent organisation.
Re the tune. Possibly very close to 'The Erie Canal'. Can't quite remember how that goes, but have a vague recollection.
