 Another American singer, Flora Moore, said that she had sung the song in the early 1880s.Stephen Cooney, Lottie Collins' husband, heard the song in "Tuxedo" and purchased from Sayers rights for Collins to perform the song in England.Collins worked up a dance routine around it, and, with new words by Richard Morton and a new arrangement by Angelo A. Asher, she first sang the song at the Tivoli Music Hall on The Strand in London in December 1891 to an enthusiastic reception; it became her signature tune.
