I had no idea that Lonnie did a version of this song. I found it great, as it has a little of the skiffle sound that he was famous for. He does some great ballads too. I personally believe that Claude King was the best, but that's possibly because it was first and the only one I have heard. Good on you Frog.
I was 13 when I first heard this song I am now 18 .... It's taken 5 years to find it again but it was worth it ..... RIP Lonnie you were a legend of your time
Lonnie Donegan was a legend.

@68blues Not bad. But I think I prefer the Claude King version.

Many thanks for posting this. It's one of the legion of almost forgotten songs from a special era. Many of us can still remember almost every note.

The last time i heard this was when it was in the charts.
That must have been the early 60's......unbelievable.
