This song was a favourite one of mine in the early 1960s and it reached our Top 20 record charts..
In the 1970s when i used to go to a local pub of mine (also known as a Bar) i would to take my 12 string guitar along with me and sing this song, sometimes with slight changes in the lyrics (especially if there was a new good looking girl in the pub) ..
By the way, everybody in the UK loved Burl Ives, he was like a long lost grand father to us
