It was also used as the theme music in James Cagney's "The Fighting 69th." Warner Brothers used it a lot, actually. Once, when I was living in Maine and tv channel 6 could be picked up on the radio, I taped all of the instrumental and sung versions in "They Died With Their Boots On" (I'm also an Errol Flynn fan) but, alas, my ex-husband snagged the tape.

But I wrote a parody verse (c.1974) about watching Errol Flynn films:

"Instead of water we'll drink ale,
And watch Errol Flynn and Allan Hale
And never til the cable fails,
Will we get to bed before morning."

For what it's worth.
