London, Reynolds & Co. 1892. With a blue printed colour cover including a centre portrait of the noted composer and performer Albert Chevalier (1861-1923) was originally an actor who was considered to not only faithfully represent the cockney but wrote some of the great songs of the music hall in doing that. Usually he collaborated with Charles Ingle who was his manager and also his brother(real name Auguste Chevalier), however here he appears to have written words and music. The famous writer Colin MacInnes who disliked Chevalier was still forced to admit the skill of his writing and quotes two of his verses in his book "Sweet Saturday Night".Kilgarriff lists this as a core song of the music hall..Folio size with music. Scarce. Condition VG.
