[Dixielandjazz] lines in trebleclef.

[Zenith Sydney]

Hi All,
Is "Every Good Boy Does Fine" peculiar to USA?
I thought the original (UK version) was "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour"?
That's what I was taught at school in Scotland.
The Australian version my kids used was "Every Good Boy Deserves Fruit."
Maybe we need an international list compiled ?
Cheers,
