In The Land Where There Are No Girls
  

 

Cinch 5036-B
In this 1913 reissue on Cinch, a Zonophone Twin budget label, composing credits go erroneously to Fred D’Albert.
Letter dated 18 February 1910 from Fred Godfrey assigning the performing rights and a share of the publishing royalties of In The Land Where There Are No Girls to Billy Williams.
   

 

Fred Godfrey & Orlando Powell — London: Francis, Day & Hunter, 1910.

Worse, surely, than a land where the women wear the trousers, another Williams and Godfrey song!
