WHAT A UNIQUE SONG ON A 78 RPM RECORD. It's quite old but kudos to you that you have preserved the record after all these years and the bramophone player too
@steviebboy69 -- I believe this song even predates the 1930s. I think it was a ditty that was sung by the doughboys in WW1. The verses here are obviously for public listening. I've seen other verses of this that are quite naughty and rude; but being sung by troops that doesn't surprise me (I'm retired military myself). This song holds meaning to me as my mother sang it around the house when I was very young, and still sings it to this day at the age of 92 years young!
Wonderful.
I wish I had lived years ago.

That sounds like Billy Jones & Ernest Hare? I'm pretty sure they did a few recordings with Fenton on the Brunnie label.
What brand is your upright?
It's got a Thorens brake & speed control, and I presume a Thorens motor too. I don't recognise the tone arm & soundbox though.

To my ears, it sounds like Arthur Fields and Billy Murray; what a great record! Your collection rules!

I love this old music, It's so much better than today's stuff. This song is very catchy.
