He sang it a lot when he lived in Coventry, so there would be the place to ask if you are in the UK. I used to be able to labouriously work out the dots, and if no-one can come up with a recording, I will try to remember how. But don't hold your breath. |

Whether Hart & Prior or Cannon sang it to its own tune or to another, I don't know. |
