First recorded 1949! Something from your youth, Deke?
Not 1959 ? Patche ?
Stepps which hit are you refering to .... singers were Alex Macoll (Father of Kirsty) and his wife Peggy Seeger ( Sister to Pete Seeger US folk singer)

From Wikipedia:
"Dirty Old Town" is a song written by Ewan MacColl in 1949 that was made popular by The Dubliners and has been recorded by many others since.
