| Extra Information | A humorous song about a Cockney man in Canning Town with his open mind, good nature and his unenvious look to the world. He has his views on these matters, however he doesn't blame or resent, citing that if the same facilities was given to all, the same behaviour would occur to them. So it's no use going off on a high horse, according to him. This ranges from rich toffs to cinema stars, taking a bath full of wine. He doesn't blame them, however says a plughole isn't where good wine should go! Written during the last few years of Jackson's career, where he penned Lays from Lancashire and still had popularity at the piano. He was born and raised in Liverpool, so his portrayal of the working man was more realistic compared to the more idyllic performances by the middle-class Norman Long. However Jackson had sadly lost his wife a few years before, so he retired in 1932. There are no other programs featuring his name after that year. |
