There are a lot of fine recordings of this song, but I chose Lonnie Donegan's to highlight. Lonnie Donegan was a British musician. He was known as the "King of Skiffle".
If "skiffle" sounds familiar, it may be because it was a primary early influence in a band called The Quarrymen. Yes, you have heard of The Quarrymen. They turned into a rather successful act who changed their name when, inspired by Buddy Holly's band, they decided insect names were OK. But "Crickets" was taken, so they went with Beatles.
