I have just re discovered this song after 26 years. I used to sing it as part of a railway project I did in Duns primary school in scotland in 1988 when I was 8 years old. the song and guitar chords are in a folk song book called "the Jolly Herring" its C, G, Am, F, chords mostly with the occasional hammer and pull off. Coincidently I now live in Kirkby Stephen which is the stop before Appleby when heading from settle to Carlisle.
