2 unusual facts about Ginger You're Barmy


Ginger You're Barmy

This rhyme derives from the popular song Ginger you're barmy written by Fred Murray, songwriter (composer of I'm Henery The Eighth I Am), in 1910 and recorded in that year by Harry Champion - included in the Peelennium, no. 43.

Like the narrator, he himself was drafted into the Royal Armoured Corps after graduating in English from London University and did his training at Catterick Camp before working as a clerk in Bovington Camp in Dorset.
