Help find this song/album

You know Georgie Porgie? There's a version that was on this cd I had from maybe 13 years ago, and it had the full version of the song. I remember it had the part that everyone knows, then it went 'first he ran away to sea' and something else, then 'a sailor he could never be so back to school went Georgie', then he went on to be a tailor and i think something else, thenn it ended with 'a lady's man he'll never be, poor old georgie porgie'. I think I've asked this before, but can someone please help me find the song? I can't find the CD, and I've been looking online for ages but absolutely nothing comes up, not even the lyrics, but I am 100% certain that this exists. I'm not sure, but I think it might be on the same CD as little boy blue, which is another one I am looking for. There might also be Tom tom the piper's son, the ants go marching and possibly jack and jill went up the hill.

Also the lyrics, so I can rest in peace:

Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play
Georgie Porgie ran away

First he ran away to sea
A sailor he would surely be
But when the sea began to swell
Georgie Porgie felt unwell

He went home to ply his trade
Saleing suits his mother had made
A salesman he could never be
So back to school went Georgie

Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play
Georgie Porgie ran away

Then he bravely marched to war
He knew what he was fighting for
But when the cannons began to blast
He knew this war would be his last

Lost his arm, and running away,
But he never did regret the day
A hero he would never be
So back to school went Georgie

Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie
Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play
Georgie Porgie ran away

Still they cry when he comes near
But no one sees poor Georgie's tears
A lady's man he'll never be,
Poor old Georgie Porgie!

Guess there was no key change. Or maybe there was? I'm yet to find the exact album I had
