I learnt this as a song at primary school about 1952. It had additional interest for me because my Mum knew the song from her Dad who also sang it before I was born. He had passed away before my birth so this song was a connection I had with him.
I have been looking for the history of the words. Is there any knowledge concerning the origin for the words.
