G'day Mick, Mary and all,

I followed Mary's link and the words there (presumably the same on home DT) are clearly related to those I have. These don't work well to the dance versions of the tune (unless you are a "patter artist" of the old music hall variety) so I guess there must be a somewhat different song tune - as one would expect.

Mick: It is interesting that the historical source documents for the version I put together are both in Dublin - yet they start off "As I was walking down London Street". Where does a good song come from? ...Or live?

Anyway, I will be keen to hear the tune if I can only make Alan of Oz's TextMIDI work on my kludge.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
