I occasionally hear a version of this song, but I don't know who plays it. It is a female singer, with accompianment by what sounds like a hurdy gurdy. She sings the song, then the hurdy gurdy plays a slightly faster tempo tune. Can anyone identify who I might be on about, what the tune is and perhaps even where I can find the sheet music?

Thanks

Phill

I'm confused - are you talking about the gravel-voiced star of umpteen "Carry On" films?

Oh s*d it, I'm not awake. I of course meant Sydney CARTER. How I managed that is anyones guess, can the title be changed? My apologies, etc.

LOL! Sid James, the well known folk singer - hyahyahyahya! :-D

Sorry, I don't know the song (although I'm less confused now!)
