Rapaire, you missed one in that song: "I was born...when I was just a child." One that always bugs me is in the song "The Greenland Whale Fisheries": the last verse: Oh, Greenland is a dreadful place, a land that's never green, Where there's wind and snow and the whale-fishes blow, And the daylight's seldom seen, brave boys, And the daylight's seldom seen. Whaling season in the far north Atlantic of course is summer, and days are long in Greenland, like Alaska, the land of the midnight sun. Charles
