I love how "Middlesboro" was rhymed with "no where"! lol I live about 50 miles from the Cumberland Gap, so I change the words, slightly...one interesting fact...Cumberland Gap was formed by a crater from a meteor strike!
Heehee, It's boxing day and I just heard this song for the first time! I love how it made my dad dance like a loony, my dog dance like a nutter and my mum tap her foot and shake her head in a manic way! You just know when a song is good when it makes a room full of people and a dog dance!
I'm 64, and haven't thought about Lonnie Donegan for ages ... was looking for Chewing Gum lose it's flavour when I found this. Don't know why; I'm sitting here on a work day, tears running down my face. And the room full of people and the dog dancing was the cream on the cake. Such joy!
