That versiion seems to be an interesting American "re-treading" of the remembered (... non-Victorian London ...) chorus - with new verses different from the circa 1850s street songsheet that spread all over the countries of the mid 19th century gold-rushes.

Here, in Australia, it seems, mostly, to have been nostalgically remembered only as the 'romantic chorus' ... and danced widely as a waltz tune!

Regards,
