    Talking Primary School Song still stuck in my head

    Hiya, I'm a relatively new member to this site and first of all hats to everyone. I've been trawling aorund and this seems to be the best by far. Another query for all here. I remember singing this song when I was back in primary school but the title evades me and so do the rest of the lyrics. Any help will be greatly appreciated, driving everyone I know mad trying to get them to remember this song.
    Here goes:

    Long ago and far away
    In a town of Galilee (not sure if that's spelled correctly?)
    Out of David's family
    Came a young man

    He was quite a handy man
    With a hammer in his hand
    Always looking at his *er...*
    Til he saw Mary

    She was the finest thing
    He knew he's ever see
    He hoped that she was
    As keen as he was

    He popped the question
    And hoped his suggestion
    Would be no objection
    To his friend Mary

    Such a simple girl I am
    Asked to chose a destiny
    I've got the rest of my
    Life before me

    Joseph is a lovely man
    But do I want to
    Be his wife?
    I guess the answers yes"

    All I have I'm afraid. I remember singing it in assembly if that helps anyone. I hate that I only have fragments of the song and I really want to teach it to my younger sister. Thanks to anyone who may be able to shed some light.

    If you go onto the web and type in old nursery rhymes it might just point you in the right direction

    i know the song.

    Long ago and far away
    In a town of Galilee
    Out of David's family
    Came a young man

    He was quite a handy man
    With a hammer in his hand
    Always looking at his plans
    Til he saw Mary

    She was the sweetest thing
    He knew he'd ever seen
    He hoped that she was
    As keen as he was

    He popped the question
    And hoped his suggestion
    Would be no objection
    To his friend Mary

    Such a simple girl like me
    Asked to chose a destiny
    I've got the rest of my
    Life before me

    Joseph is a lovely man
    But do I want to
    Be his wife?
    I guess the answers yes

    and im not embarrased
    to tell all the world about my friend mary
    im getting married and im not embarrased
    to tell all the world about
    you.
