JeffB Sing, Sally-O / Mudder Dinah (31) RE: Sing, Sally-O / Mudder Dinah 27 Mar 09

I'm not 100% if I have the same song, but in 1991 St Elmo's Choir (Trapper Graves was in the line-up then) recorded "Syrens", and one of the tracks was called "Sing Sally-o (Dinah)". It started out :-

There was a fair maid in this town, as pretty as a flower
[Refrain] Sally-o and a fa-la-la
Hoorah hoorah me bully boys
[refrain] Good morning [?] Dinah, Sally-o and a fa-la-la.

As she went to the market she met a nut-brown sailor ... etc

St Elmo's recorded only three or four tracks, so for my own amusement I made up a few more to make a bit of a story. If it's the same song I would be highly interested in seeing the original words.
