I wonder if this is the song you want. I learned it many years ago from a member of the London Critics group. Regrettably I can't remember his name. The song has elements of music hall in it I think. It may well have started there. There is very old slang in the lyric - 'ramping mad', and 'Gammoned', meaning persuaded, or sweet-talke, or seduced into something. A gentle song about a really shy lover. I'm sorry I don'tknow how to send the tune. You could ask David Jones. I gave him these words some while ago. Happy singing.

O Covent Garden, fare thee well
Goodbye to old Long Acre
I never knew what love could do
'Til I met Betsy Baker.

In church I met her dressed so neat
One Sunday in hot weather
I know my heart with love did beat
We sang the psalms together

When church was out away she walked
But I did overtake her
Determined I would not be baulked
I spoke to Betsy Baker

She blushed and seemed too shy to talk
But I resolved to make her
Says I "My dear, will you talk a walk?"
"I shan't" said Betsy Baker

She soon became aquainted with
A ramping mad play actor
He gammoned her to run away
I lost my Betsy Baker

My mother said twould ease my mind
Thus quickly to forsake her
But I think all day and I dream all night
About my Betsy Baker.
