Robert Patrick Weston was a prolific English songwriter, who wrote popular music hall songs. He and co-writer, Bert Lee, are said to have written a song a day. Two of his songs which I have uploaded before are "Ann Boleyn" (With her head tucked underneath her arm!) and "I'm Henery the Eighth, I Am".

This song, written in 1917, with two other writers known as "the two Bobs", has become part of the folk tradition as it can now be found in several different versions, and has also been adopted as an Irish session tune.

Val Doonican had a hit with his recording of the song in the 1960s. I remember hearing an excellent rendition by Scottish folksinger, Jean Redpath.
