Oh, Girls, never trust a policeman!

Has anyone ever heard of this tune? The chorus goes:
We plighted our affection down the airey in the rain,
He stole my giddy heart away, and gave me quite a pain,
He pinched me cheek, and when he left he pinched me watch and chain
Oh, girls, never trust a policeman!
I remember having this a a small child, but can't remember whether it was a cylinder or a record. (I was lucky, I had both) The artiste was a Miss Yolande ??. If it was a record, then I'll start trying to track a copy down, but there's no point if it's a cylinder, as I don't have a suitable machine.
For the sake of translation The "airey" is the open area in front of a house in England, below street level, which housed the servant's entrance.
