Wow! Thanks for posting this... I hadn't heard it in many years. My mother used to play and sing it. Her father was a sailor in the Spanish American War and it was one of his favorites.
I use to sing this when I was a kid. It was in an old 1930's cartoon I watched over and over. Never realized it was about a sailor purchasing prostitutes till I listened to it again just now lol!

Love this song
Chorus was modified as a theme for a few of the Popeye cartoons. Plus I seem to remember a bouncing ball sing-a-long cartoon for this song.
You don't remember wrong. It's on RUclips. Called "Gobs of Fun"
0:10 - 0:14 is identical to a tune I wrote! How very bizarre!
Does this song has a copyright?
No. It was copyrighted in 1900. RUclips did not give me a copyright notice on it. I'm pretty sure that has expired and it's in the public domain.
2:21 0:53
1:25 put it at 1.25
I tend to put the piano track at a relaxed tempo to encourage new piano players. British march tempo is 110 bpm
on 1.25 its almost like something out of a popeye cartoon.
