When I was little my mom would sing special songs to me and each of my siblings at bedtime, and this was the song she sang for me. I sang it to Sym when she was little and now I sing it for Gwen.
We also had an album by The Seekers with this song on it so their version reminds me of childhood as well, which is good since I don’t have a youtube of my mom.
Probably for the best that there isn’t a youtube of me singing it—somebody might play it in the street and scare the horses.
