Hello from across the pond, My Mom was from New Zealand and I can remember her singing this song, except her lyrics went "Two blue pigeons, one was a black & white pom. Sandy he belonged to the mill, the mill belonged to Sandy still. The mill belonged to Sandy." It seems like it had some historical significance -- something like a man walked into a pub & sang this song as a message to let another man know it was safe for him to return home. Enjoyed the video.
Dimple Diamond has left us his vocal talents for prosterity indeed...and acapella to boot! I played along with him as I viewed and listened attentivelyto every word and hand gesture on this side of the computer screen...how privy I am! I remember the lyrics as well!!!
