"No! it isn't - LEB" and she adds a the following note:
Please don't call this 'The Keys of Heaven' which don't come into this version & is merely the title of my particular version
in 'County Songs' which does turn on the Keys of Heaven. "Madam I present you" is the title that usually covers this class of
song. LEB
If any songs are to be omitted I should leave this out as the song is in most nursery-rhyme books in similar versions
