What was the song being played over the end credits of the film?

I think its "Rock island line" by Lonnie Donegan, but its a really odd version! The original is more like a skiffle track, it was written by Johnny Cash I believe. Don't quote me though cos I only heard half of it!

Thank you Sophie. I have heard the Lonnie Donegan version and it didn't sound right. However the film was some time ago. I will check it out. I did like the film version of the track though.

On the DVD commentary, Simon West claims that most of the "bluesy rock" music he used was 1930s audio that is archived in the National Sound Library.
