Thanks for the background MtheGM. I geddit.
I never saw the film but it was a popular song of my childhood. Often played on the wireless.
I was reminded of it when I asked for Cowboy songs for 7 year olds, in another thread.
If I'm going to sing it I need to think about the meaning it will have in the context I sing it, as well as in the original context. Even if it is 'just a song', Bonzo.
