Bendigo Champion of England was recorded by Dave and Toni Arthur on 1967, by Paul and Liz Davenport in 2011 and by Harp & a Monkey in 2019.

And A.L. Lloyd sang Heenan and Sayers on a 1962 Topic album with a similar first verse:

You ranting lads and sporting blades, come listen to my song.
I’m sure that it will please you well and it won’t detain you long.
’t was the seventeenth of April and thousands went with joy
To see the English champion and the bold Benicia Boy.
