Does anyone know the very very old song?

Question

This is one my mother used to sing to me when I was a child . I'm nearly 60 now.
The only other time I ever remember hearing it was a long time ago in a very old film when it was playing in the background on a gramaphone. It goes like this

In barefoot days, oh boy the thing we did.
We would go down shady nook, with a pin bent for a hook.
we'd fish all day, and we'd fish all night.
But the darned old fish refused to bite
We'd slide and slide, down some old cellar door
we'd slide and slide till our pants got tore
Then we'd have to go home, and lie in bed
while mother got buisy with the need and thread
Oh, boy, the joy, we had in bare foot days

Answer 1

That's an old music hall song.
Verse: Surely you remember those days that used to be
When your Dad and mother, they sang sweet songs to thee
We got all dressed up spick and span and off to church we ran
But the very best days of all
Were when we had no shoes at all:-
CHORUS: Barefoot days, when we were just a couple of kids (Get your bowler out)
Barefoot days, oh boy the things we did.
Down by a shady nook, with a bent pin for a hook.
We fished all day, we fished all night
But the blooming old fish refused to bite.
And off we'd slide, down some old cellar door
We'd slip and slide till our clothes were tore, a little more
Then we'd have to go home, get into bed
While mother got busy with a needle and thread
Oh boy, what joy, we had in barefoot days.

Barefoot Days

VERSE 1
I can remember how proud I used t' be
When Dad an' Mother would buy new shoes for me
Now, that's the feeling we've all had
How new shoes would make you glad
But th best time, if you recall
When you wore no shoes at all

CHORUS:
Barefoot days, when we were just a kid
Barefoot days, O boy, th things we did
We'd go down to th shady brook
With a bent pin for a hook
We'd fish all day an' fish till night
But th darn ole fish refuse to bite
How we'd slide down some ole cellar door
We'd slide an' slide, till our pants got tore
You know, that slidin' down th cellar door
Make your clothes tear, an' you'll get a lot'a splinters
But you must'n tell where
O boy, what joy, we had in barefoot days

VERSE 2
We were so happy, till Sunday came along
Boy, that was one day, when ever'thing seemed wrong
All th stuff they give was starched
Off to church, we had to march
But no wonder we had th blues
Cause we had to wear our shoes

CHORUS:
Barefoot days, when we were just a kid
Barefoot days, O boy, th things we did
We'd go down to th shady brook
With a bent pin for a hook
We'd fish all day an' fish till night
But th darn ole fish refuse to bite
How we'd slide down some ole cellar door
Slide, an' slide, until our pants got tore
Have to go home an' stay in bed
Till Mother got busy with th needle an' thread
O boy, what joy, we had in barefoot days

. :Maurie Fields - Barefoot Days : .

Hey, barefoot days when I was just a kid, hey, barefoot days, oh boy, the things I did
We'd go down to Shady Nook with a bent pin for a hook
And we'd fish all day and fish all night, the jolly old fish refused to bite
And then I'd slide down someone's cellar door, and I'd slide and slide until my pants got torn
And then I'd have to go home and get in bed while mama got busy with the needle and thread
Oh boy, what joy, I had in barefoot days, oh boy, oh what joy, we had in barefoot day-ays...
