I wake up every morning with a song stuck in my head. And now it's stuck in yours.

Billy Boy
I haven't been focused on the song blog in quite some time, but this tune arrived so out of the blue, I had to post it. I'm sure I haven't heard any version of it in more than 30 years. The internets date its origins in the 18th Century, but it looks like the most popular versions weren't published in England til about WWI era and not in the States til 1930.
Thanks to YouTube user LDsongscreen for posting this sweet rendition of the song.
