Eileen this is one of my all time favourite songs and whenever I hear it on the radio I sing along, probably out of tune, and know all the words. I really should find it online and download it :-D:-D Just thought I’d share that with you 
I didn’t know that! Here in the States it’s often called The John.
Another sad “dying young” one is The Green Green Grass of Home - Johnny Cash. I have that on Spotify also, I have a weird mixture of oldies, real oldies like Glenn Miller, Mills Brothers, Andrews Sisters, Gilbert & Sullivan, Scottish folk songs, a real mishmash!
While I’m on the subject of sad songs, Mary of the Wild Moor - Johnny Cash …
Another favourite sad one is Honey, Bobby Goldsburgh
Oh thanks, I’d forgotten that one…
