funny how back then, anything foreign and ethnic, no matter where from, they always ascribed that weird middle-eastern riff. see "gee gee from the fiji isle" to see what i mean.

I purchased a box of 78 platters at a vintage shop in NYC.This was one of the records included.I had no idea that Margaret Young was popular!

What a nice surprise.

This version of the song makes it sound (to me) like some kind of song sung beside campfires, fairgrounds and horse-drawn gypsy caravans. This version also sounds slightly sinister as well, not like the upbeat jolly old "what ho Bertie" versions I've heard.

@johntravolta20 Well, I've heard better, but I do love this song :)

smart, silly, stylish, and almost hypnotic - pretty sophisticated and naughty stuff for 1920.

Wow, this song brings back memories! My parents and grandparents used to sing this. I never knew the origins of the song or ever heard anyone else singing it, so it is interesting to hear this old recording.
