IN an English country garden

[croft-inn]

Can anyone remember who sang this?

This won't help you much, but i'm sure that this song is always credited as ANON as it comes from waaaay back! i do however know a version that my brother and i used to sing as kids.... What do you do if you wanna go a loo.... etc! i think we made that one up!

Possibly Nana Mouskouri, a google search turns up nothing solid, but if you cliak on

you get the words and the tune played. Nice!

A search shows Jimmy Rogers. I remember the song but not who sang it.

[crumpeter]

It may have been, "Peter Paul and Mary" but Im not one hundred percent sure.

An American called Jimmie Rodgers got to number 5 in the UK with this song in 1962. It was his fifth chart hit in Britain, and the last.

Yep, Jimmie Rodgers!

[croft-inn]

Thanks everyone. Jimmy Rogers is the answer we were searching for. Yet another bar argument resolved.

Cheers

I have an lp - it was one of my favourites as a child and I'm trying to find it on CD It was called English Country Garden and other favourites sung by Jimmie Rodgers. The song was written by (Sharpe/Jordan) !
