G'day Matthew and Frogmore,

I read Matthew's version, and was going to post my dad's version ... but Frogmore's Mum's version is the same as my Dad's.

Since a Bolton probably comes from round Lancashire (Grandad was born in Haslingden, between Manchester and Bolton - but Dad was born out here in Australia), it seems pretty likely the song comes straight out of the same tradition.

regards,

Bob Bolton
