This is a 1919 comic song (not the famous sea shanty of the same name).
This \"Hayes & Croft\" Coliseum disc was originally on Venus 1612 as by the \"Two Filberts\". But both hid the names of the artists, who were actually Harry Cove and W. H. Thompson, stalwarts of the early recording studio under a vast array of differing pseudonyms.
Transferred from an original disc in my collection
