Malcom: To answer your first question, McColl says he had the song from his father. Probably not all that helpful. I checked McColl's website, and it does not even mention this particular record. These records will have come out about the same time as Bronson (assuming my memory is correct) so that it might have found its way into it.

I appreciate your assistance; if you are unable to come up with anything, I will, as you say have a go at it. I am a little reluctant to accept censure for not providing a tune forthwith. I think in the best of all possible worlds, everyone would have musical training and be able easily to write out tunes. But I respectfully submit that what you are offering is a counsel of perfection. I have prepared ABC's for earlier submissions, and they tend to be flawed, as the format not all that reliable and sheet music is not readily available for many of these. If I had a Bronson, and the tune was in it, the task would be simple. But I don't, and it isn't.
