*Music-hall song which has never lost the great popularity it acquired in World War I. Written and first sung in 1912 by Jack Judge (1878–1938), it was made popular by Florrie *Forde. Its theme of longing for a girl back home (remembered in the song by an Irishman visiting London) exactly fitted the national mood at a time of millions of forced separations.
