On an album released in the UK in the late 50s Rambling Jack Elliot did Will Fyffe's patter from the 78 old record. That was before Alex Campbell came back from being a blind blues singer with a white stick and tin cup in Paris, regained his sight, married Peggy Seeger and became a folkie in London - 1961. As far as I can tell Harry Lauder never ever sang or recorded the song. I don't off hand recall where I got my info, but probably from Jack House's Music Hall Memories book which is not immediately to hand.Jack's research was usually spot on, as he mostly got Joe Hendrie of the Glasgow Room to do it for him - allegedly.
